A stage set for a temple-style ceremony. A large dark stone deity murti of Shiva with multiple arms and a hooded serpent canopy stands on a white marble pedestal, with a rock-like base beneath. In front, a seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a red-and-gold garland sits on a white and red cushioned throne, hands pressed together in namaskar. Tall brass trident stands line the red stage on both sides. A large backdrop screen shows carved Dravidian temple pillars, pink and red architectural trim, and lion-like sculptures. Potted plants and an oil-lamp-free stage complete the scene.
