At centre, a seated figure in yellow dhoti sits on a red-cushioned gilded throne (peetha) beneath a large cobra-hood canopy. The back wall shows peacock-feather motifs, hanging garlands and round decorative lamps. Potted palms flank the throne, and steps lead up to the stage.

The seated figure is a figure in a statue or depiction, so identity is uncertain.2009-12-25A seated figure in saffron-orange robes sits on a red-cushioned ornate golden throne on a raised stage, backed by an ornately carved gold throne back and deep red velvet curtains with yellow spotlight beams.
