A stage performance before a seated audience of many young people in white shirts and dark headbands. On a red-carpeted stage with a dark maroon curtain, a central performer in a white dhoti-style dress with an orange sash and an ornate gold crown holds a flute to his lips. Around him, four performers in white and cream robes with orange-gold sashes stand in a loose semicircle, some holding green leaves or sprigs. Potted palms flank the stage and petals are scattered on the boards. The scene is a dramatic dance or theatrical enactment rather than a ritual sitting.
