A figure seated on an ornate golden throne on a raised red-draped stage, in front of a backdrop painting of Varanasi's ghats and temple spires with orange fire-like glows. The seated figure wears saffron and orange robes, a multi-strand rudraksha mala with a large central bead, and has long dark hair and a painted forehead. A trident stands at the right side of the throne, flanked by brass lamps and potted plants, and many small clay oil lamps are lit along the stage edge. The seated figure appears to be a person, based on the saffron robes, rudraksha mala and long hair, though the figure may be a lifelike statue or wax figure rather than a living person.
