Four women in traditional Indian dance costumes perform on a red-carpeted stage with a white skirted table in front. They sit in seated poses with palms pressed together in anjali mudra above their heads, with marigold petals scattered on the stage. The women wear jewelled gold and red costumes, necklaces, and hair ornaments. Behind them hangs a large red banner with floral swirl patterns and a smiling portrait of a man in an orange turban and orange garment, with the word Anandotsava partly visible in the banner text. The portrait is printed on a backdrop rather than a physical person.
