A seated figure in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold throne decorated with garlands of marigolds and red flowers, on a stage with a green floor. Behind him a large orange banner reads Dasara and Jagatmatreya Aradhane, showing a figure in an orange turban and a goddess with a crown and ornate jewellery. In the foreground, three musicians sit with their backs to the camera: a man in a maroon shirt with a stringed instrument, a woman in a red and gold sari, and a man in brown kurta playing a drum. A small golden deity figure stands under an umbrella beside the throne, and a garlanded image appears at left. Audience members are visible at the lower left edge.

A seated figure in orange robes, with an orange turban and rudraksha malas, sits on an ornate golden throne decorated with garlands. Around the throne, several musicians in maroon and red-bordered saris and dhotis play instruments on a green stage floor, including a woman in a red and gold sari seen from behind.
