A young girl in an orange short-sleeved blouse and orange dhoti-style trousers with a red-and-orange sash performs a rope-walking act, balancing barefoot on a thin rope while raising one arm overhead and extending the other. A red vertical rope hangs from the ceiling above her. Two tall decorated pillars wrapped in painted cloth with blue, red, yellow and green patterns and orange fringed bases flank her under a draped white ceiling canopy with ceiling fans and bright lights. Framed portraits hang on the pale wall below, and a black speaker sits on a shelf.

A young woman in orange and red traditional attire performs an aerial rope act, suspended mid-air on a rope with her bare feet pressed against it and one arm raised to hold the rope. Her hair is tied back in a bun. Tall decorated cylindrical pillars painted with blue, yellow, red and green patterns flank her inside a hall with a draped white ceiling, ceiling fans and overhead lights. A small framed picture hangs on the wall and a gold-toned ornamental object is visible at lower left. The scene is a performance rather than a ritual.2013-05-28 +1 copiesMay 28 20132013-05-28May 28 20132013-05-28 +1 copiesMay 28 20132013-05-28 +1 copiesMay 28 20132013-05-28 +1 copiesMay 28 20132013-05-28 +1 copiesMay 28 20132013-05-28 +1 copiesA young woman in an orange sleeveless tunic and orange trousers with a maroon-edged sash performs a rope-climbing or rope-balance feat in a decorated hall.
