This is a portrait of an unidentified dancer from Western India. The dancer is photographed seated against a very peculiar wallpaper. She holds a hand-held fan in one hand and a small bowl in the other. She is dressed in a very simplistic style with a zari bordered sari and wears minimum jewellery. This photograph is a part of our digital exhibition, Dancing Queen.
