Women and girls in bright traditional Indian dress perform a circular folk dance in a large hall with a tiled floor and fluorescent ceiling lights. Dancers wear saris and salwar outfits in pink, orange, magenta, green, blue and maroon, with a woman in a pink dupatta and red trousers in the foreground, mid-stride and smiling. Some dancers hold short sticks as they dance in a ring. Men in white kurtas stand at the right edge. Framed pictures and red curtains line the walls. The scene resembles a Navaratri garba-style celebration.
