A seated man in an orange-saffron robe with a rudraksha mala rests on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, garlanded with yellow, orange and purple flowers, under a large gold-fringed umbrella. Beside him stands a gold ornamented palanquin-style vehicle carrying a deity murti in green and gold garments and flower garlands. Behind the throne, a large framed portrait of a goddess with a red-kumkum forehead and gold jewellery is set against a red banner. Orange-and-gold decorative mats cover the stage floor. The seated man appears to be a person, identifiable by his saffron robe, rudraksha mala and the throne-seat setting, though the face is only partly clear. The scene is a stage event.
