A female classical dancer performs on a stage in a purple silk sari with gold zari borders, a gold waist belt, a layered gold necklace, bangles and a jewelled headpiece with a flower in her hair, her hands in a mudra. Behind her a dark backdrop bears a painted lotus design, and to her left a gold-carved pillar topped by a swan stands beside a gold-framed arch. Audience members are partly visible in the foreground, seen from behind. Framed banners on the wall show photographs of spiritual leaders, and a red stage skirt lines the platform.
