Outdoor evening cultural performance under a decorated pandal with colourful bunting and hanging cloth pillars. Four women in ornate Bharatanatyam-style costumes perform on a raised red-carpeted stage: the figures wear red-and-gold, purple, pink-and-gold and green-and-red costumes with jewellery and flowers in their hair. Behind them hangs a large banner with portraits and Tamil text. Seated on white chairs and mats at the front are a man in a saffron-orange robe with a shaved head and a beard, and rows of men and women in white clothes watching the dance. A printed portrait stands beside the stage. The surrounding crowd sits on the ground in white dhotis and shirts.
