Photographic lobby still for the Hindi film 'Sitara' (Star), released in the year 1955.

The still shows a woman dancing beside an artifical water body. The bottom half of the image is occupied by the water body that is bordered with dias. In the middle of the frame, above the water, is a woman playing the 'pakhawaj' (an Indian percussion instrument) on the left, and another woman dancing on the right. Behind them are two monuments, one bigger one on the left, and narrower one on the right (although neither of the buildings can be seen in full).

Below the image (in the border) is a composition including illustration and text. The illustration shows a woman dancing on a stage with musicians and production people. Below that is text that reads (from top to bottom) 'ALL INDIA PICTURES PRESENT', '"SITARA"', 'PRODUCED BY: P. N. ARORA', 'DIRECTED BY: S. K. OJHA' AND 'Sitara' (in Devanagari). On the right is the text 'Shangri-La...' and the logo of 'All India Pictures'. The border has a texture.
