Black and white photo of T. Balasaraswati, Indian Bharatanatyam dancer, and Ted Shawn onstage in pools of bright light against a dark background with garland sweeping across behind them. Balasaraswati, at left, stands with her arms wreathed in a garland, bowing towards Shawn with her hands together in a prayer-type position. She is wearing her lusciously pleated white garments, having just finished performing. Shawn stands at the right side of the image in a tuxedo facing Balasaraswati and bows reverently at her mirroring her posture.
