A temple-style stage with a decorated blue backdrop and gold arches holds several deity murtis, one dressed in green and decorated with garlands. A man seated on an ornate gold-and-red throne with a flower-covered back wears saffron-brown robes, a white garland and a rudraksha mala, and rests his hand on the armrest. Two orange-robed priests kneel on a red mat before brass vessels and offerings, performing puja. Two men in white dhotis with white head cloths and flower garlands stand at right, one holding a brass tray. The scene suggests a ritual worship ceremony in a temple hall.
