A photograph of two young women performing a classical Indian dance on a red carpeted stage in front of an ornate gold-carved wooden backdrop with floral scrollwork, rows of elephants and horses, and a lattice of cross-shaped cutouts. The dancer standing upright wears a red choli blouse, white dhoti-style skirt with a purple and red waistband, white flower in her hair, and gold bangles; she lifts one leg and gestures with her arm. The second dancer, in a white blouse and purple and red skirt with a white flower in her hair, is bent forward into a low pose with her head near the floor. Both wear ankle bells.
