A female classical dancer performs on stage in a purple and gold silk costume with zari borders, a gold waist belt, and a long multi-strand necklace with a green-and-red pendant. Her hair is adorned with a gold headpiece and she wears a red bindi, a nose stud and jhumka earrings. Her hands are in mudras, one raised near her chest and the other extended to the side, with gold bangles on her wrists. Behind her a painted backdrop shows large stylised hand and lotus-like motifs with a Shivalinga-like form.
