There are two photos. The left one is taken below the dancer and looks up at her gentle smile. She reaches over and looks to her extended hand. She wears a red and gold sari and gold adornments on her wrist, neck, ears and forehead. The right hand photo has a group of dancers together with lifted arms and wide open mouths as if they are roaring together. The centre dancer is in a wheel chair and the others gather around them on the floor and standing.
