Girls in colourful traditional skirts and blouses perform a folk dance on a wooden stage in a hall with a patterned hanging banner at left. Their hands are pressed together in greeting as they face a decorated backdrop of multicoloured balloons. A golden peetha-style seat with a seated figure in orange sits at the centre of the balloon display. Several girls wear white, purple, orange, yellow, green and pink outfits. A young woman in a teal sari stands at the right edge, and audience members are visible at the bottom.
