A stage performance on a green mat before a large orange backdrop. Five dancers in colourful saris perform: a woman in magenta on the left and one in green on the right swing long sticks, while a woman in yellow and turquoise and a central dancer in yellow with a red-and-gold headdress hold flutes or wands. Two seated musicians in blue and purple-grey dhotis play along. A circular portrait on the backdrop shows a smiling man in an orange turban and saffron robe. A yellow and red flag hangs above, with a silhouetted temple at right and a balloon arch at the corners. A figure in orange robes is partly visible at the far right edge.
