Five women in traditional Indian dance costumes perform a classical dance on a green-covered stage. The dancers wear saris in purple with green and gold borders, deep blue with green, white with red and gold, and maroon, with flowers in their hair and arms raised in expressive poses. Behind them a large orange backdrop shows a portrait of a smiling man in an orange turban inside an oval frame, beside the printed word "Dhasara" in purple script. Audience members and seated figures sit at the edge of the hall. A portrait captioned in the backdrop is a printed image, not a physical person on stage.
