A performer stands barefoot on a dark stage in a dramatic dance pose, arms extended forward with palms open, wearing a rust-red dhoti-style draped garment, a leopard-print bodice and a red sash across the chest, with red armbands, a jewelled headpiece and white face markings. Behind him a row of brass oil lamps stands on the floor, and a dark red curtain hangs at left beside a white floor-standing air conditioner. A large screen at right shows glowing lamp-like imagery. The man's appearance is not clearly established from the image, so his identity is left uncertain.
