Photograph of a stage performance with a folk-style drum ensemble. A central male dancer in a yellow embroidered shirt, maroon dhoti-style shorts and a red-and-white turban raises one arm high while holding a stick and gesturing outward. Around him, drummers in green kurtas and maroon trousers play round drums, while other performers in red kurtas and a yellow-turbaned figure stand in a line on the stage. Behind them hangs a decorated structure festooned with orange and white marigold garlands, blue and gold drapery, and a row of small lamps along its top. The dark curtained backdrop and polished floor frame the scene.
