A stage performance on a green floor before an orange and yellow backdrop, apparently at a Dasara celebration. Three young people kneel in orange and red silk garments with gold jewellery. The left girl in an orange saree with green blouse presses her palms together in prayer. The central figure, with hair in a topknot and a white tilak on the forehead, closes eyes and joins hands while a woman in a white and green saree leans forward holding a microphone toward them. A boy in orange dhoti-style wrap and orange shawl kneels at right with palms joined. Small white bowls with offerings and a red tray sit in front. Text in the bottom right reads copyright and source credit lines.
