A painted depiction of a female classical dancer in a red costume on a bamboo mat background. She raises one arm with fingers in a mudra, her other hand extended palm-up with red-tipped fingers. She wears a white jasmine garland and gold ornaments, including bangles, a necklace, earrings and a nose ring, with a red bindi on her forehead. The painting is on woven bamboo. No physical people are present.

A painted artwork on a light bamboo-textured panel shows a woman in traditional Kerala dress holding a dark pole and a large pale umbrella-shaped parasol overhead. She wears a white blouse with blue sleeves and a gold-trimmed white skirt, jasmine flowers in her hair, gold earrings, a red bindi, red lipstick and layered gold necklaces with a red bead, plus gold bangles on her wrist. Faint printed caption text appears at the lower right corner of the panel.

Two female Bharatanatyam dancers stand side by side on a stage, hands on their hips, heads lowered in a graceful pose. Both wear traditional silk saris with gold zari borders: the dancer on the left in red and orange with a red blouse, the dancer on the right in yellow and orange with a red blouse. They wear gold temple jewellery, pearl necklaces, floral hair ornaments and jasmine-style flowers in their buns, with red bindi and kumkum marks on their foreheads. Behind them stands a colourful backdrop of painted temple-style architecture in pink, purple and red tones.

Both wear gold and orange silk saris with red and green borders, gold jewellery including ornate headpieces with white flowers, necklaces, bangles and nose rings. Each raises an open hand in a mudra gesture, with the dancer at right holding her other hand at her waist. The setting appears to be a cultural programme.

Two young women perform a classical Indian dance on a stage decorated with marigold garlands and framed portraits. The dancer on the left wears a blue and red costume with a red choli, gold jewellery, and a white flower in her hair, her hands raised in mudra with palms open. The dancer on the right wears a red blouse with a green and gold sari, red beaded necklaces, and gold bangles, also with palms raised. Behind them, a deity murti is flanked by floral garlands, and banners show a framed portrait of a seated figure in saffron above small illustrated panels. No identifiable a person depiction is clearly visible; the portraits are too small and distant to confirm appearance.
