Five young girls in traditional Bharatanatyam-style dance costumes stand in a row on a red stage carpet scattered with white flower petals, pressing their palms together in anjali namaskar. Their outfits are richly coloured: green with gold border, royal blue, orange and gold, purple and blue, and pink with green and gold. Each wears jewellery, jasmine or hair ornaments, and bangles. Behind them hangs a backdrop printed with a sepia photograph of an ornately carved temple pillar and sculpted walls. A white wall fan and cables sit at the left edge.
