Three young men perform a stage dance on a red carpeted stage in front of a large red backdrop with floral swirls and a banner reading partially 'Ananda'. The central dancer wears a white kurta, white dhoti, a striped gold and cream shawl, and a red waist sash, with a pendant necklace and bare feet, arms extended mid-movement. The two flanking dancers wear cream-gold embroidered jackets over white trousers, barefoot, arms raised and bent. Behind them, a large printed portrait shows a figure in a saffron turban holding a saffron flag on a pole; the figure's face is a printed portrait, not a physical person present on stage.
