Two female dancers in orange, red and gold Bharatanatyam-style costumes perform on a red-carpeted stage in front of an ornate gold throne. Each dancer wears gold jewellery, a headpiece and a beaded necklace, with bells on their ankles, and both extend their arms in mudra-like poses. On the throne is a printed or projected photograph of a seated figure in a red turban and red and white garments, adorned with garlands and a rudraksha mala, with a tiger skin draped over the seat and gold lion armrests at the sides. Behind the stage is a painted backdrop showing a deity figure in the left corner and a gold ornamental horse. A gold canopy hangs above the throne.

Two female dancers in orange and yellow traditional Indian dance costumes with gold trim and jewelry perform on a red-carpeted stage in front of an ornate gold throne. The dancers stretch their arms outward, one on each side of the frame. On the throne sits a seated figure in a pink and red garment with a red turban and rudraksha-style beaded mala, flanked by a golden lion and a tiger-striped cloth; the figure is a printed or projected image rather than a clearly visible living person, so the in-person presence is uncertain. A painted backdrop shows a deity with a crescent, a banyan-type tree and mountains, and a large golden bull or nandi statue stands at the right edge.
