A photograph of a stage set for a festival at a temple-style hall. Centrally, a seated figure in a saffron-orange robe with a rudraksha mala sits on an ornate golden throne with lion-head armrests, backed by a semicircular arch of marigold and rose garlands. To the left, a golden mount-like vahana with a peacock form stands beside a deity murti draped in garlands, and to the right, a pair of deity murtis in purple and magenta silk with gold crowns sit under a garlanded golden arch. The backdrop is painted turquoise with pink and gold architectural motifs, and a small oil lamp flame glows in a window frame. Red-brown curtains frame the sides and a patterned rug lies on the floor.
