Her left leg is raised behind her, held by her hand, while her right hand is extended in a mudra. Above her hangs a framed portrait of a man in saffron robes with a white flower garland, seated in meditation before a banyan tree trunk, his right hand raised in blessing. The portrait is a depiction; the dancer is the only physical person in the scene.
