A stage performance on a red floor before a deep purple backdrop with a yellow drape at the top edge. A bare-chested boy in a blue and gold dhoti with a red border stands at left, holding a wooden board or plank. In the centre, a person in an orange saffron-toned wrap and head covering kneels by a table, moving a metal vessel. Two boys in dark t-shirts, one with a white marking on the forehead, watch and reach toward the table. Two white-topped metal-framed tables hold the props, and scattered petals and flower bits lie on the floor.
