A stage set for a ritual event with a central golden throne draped in an orange cloth and a red cushion, flanked by several golden vahana-style mounts and palanquin-like seats covered in marigold and flower garlands. Behind them a backdrop with a temple-style gateway reads NITHY and BRAHM. Deity murtis and portrait figures sit on the seats, one crowned figure in blue sits on the right, and dark red and orange carpets lie on the platform. A single standing man in a purple dhoti with a red shawl and rudraksha-style beads raises both hands in front of the stage. No clearly identifiable person sits on the central throne.
