A photograph of a decorated stage with a bronze-finished statue of Nataraja-style dancing deity murti, shown in dance pose atop a pink satin draped pedestal, wrapped in yellow and purple flower garlands and green fabric, framed by an ornate metal arch. To the right a standing person in a white dhoti, white-and-gold turban, orange and cream patterned top, rudraksha mala and flower garland, with white vibhuti marks on the forehead, raises one hand in greeting. The person's appearance is not established as a person, so the identity is unsure. Red cushioned mats cover the floor and a gold throne-like chair stands behind.
