She wears traditional attire including a pleated *dhoti*-style skirt, ornate jewelry (necklace, bangles, anklets), and a decorated waistband, all rendered with precise linework emphasizing cultural authenticity. The composition reflects the discipline, spirituality, and storytelling essence of this ancient dance tradition.
