A performer on a green stage floor dances in a theatrical costume during a festival event. The dancer is bare-chested with bangles on the raised arm, wears a leopard-print cloth around the waist over orange and green patterned trousers, and carries a sheer red-patterned shawl. A dark headpiece with a small red ornament and a snake-like form draped over the shoulder complete the look, and ankle bells are visible. Behind is a white draped backdrop with large red lettering reading 'otsav 2010'. The dancer is a single physical person, and the costume identifies a character role rather than a verified individual.
