A decorated indoor hall set up as a ceremonial stage with three ornate thrones or shrines. On the left, a gilded bull Nandi carries a palanquin-like canopy draped with purple, yellow and red garlands, holding small deity figures. In the centre, a golden throne with a crown-topped backrest and rich garlands of yellow, red, purple and green holds a seated figure in a red-and-gold robe with a white dhoti-style cloth, wearing a crown and holding a staff; the figure is a statue, not a physical person. Behind them, white and orange drapes hang from a canopy with green vines. On the right, a gilded shrine with a seated figure in red garments and a red cushion is garlanded with multicoloured flowers. No physical people are visible.
