A man in white dhoti and shawl with a cream turban and a white beaded necklace sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, garlanded with yellow and purple flowers. Beside him on the right, an elderly bearded man in orange robes sits in an orange-upholstered chair. Large gold lion and bird figures flank the thrones. Behind them is a large orange backdrop showing a golden deity murti with a crown and garlands, and a second deity seated on a gold lion-backed seat with a red and gold umbrella, another beneath a canopy at left with a decorated lion mount. A floral garland and a yellow fringed umbrella rise above the central seat. Two physical people are visible on stage.
