A stage performance in front of a large sepia backdrop of carved temple architecture with pillars and sculpted figures. Three young women in saris perform a drama on a red-carpeted stage. On the left, a woman in a green and yellow sari holds a handheld microphone. In the centre, a woman in a white sari with gold border covers her face with both hands, appearing distressed. On the right, a young woman in a cream and gold sari with a red-orange veil and jewelled headpiece touches the centre woman's head with a small object. No one in the scene is identifiable as a person, and the scene is a staged skit rather than a ritual.
