A performer in elaborate costume dances on a green stage floor in front of a white draped backdrop with large red letters reading part of a 2010 event title. The performer wears a black snake-coiled headpiece with a red plume, a red-and-gold bead necklace, a sheer red patterned shawl or veil, an orange fabric upper garment over green and gold trousers with a leopard-print panel, and many bells on the ankles. The raised leg and outstretched arm with jewelled rings convey a dramatic dance pose.

The performer is shirtless with a painted torso, balancing on one raised leg in a dance pose with one arm extended overhead. He wears an orange and green dhoti-style costume with leopard-print trim, a red sheer veil draped over his shoulder, layered gold and beaded bangles and anklets, and a black crown-like headpiece with a red tassel. Ornate necklaces and a moustache complete the stage makeup.

He wears a red-and-white beaded necklace with a red pendant, rudraksha-style beads, a gold-embroidered yellow and black dhoti-style costume with a gold waist belt, and bells on his ankles. Behind him is a white draped curtain with large red letters reading 'Utsav 2010'. The stage floor is green.
