A hall stage lit with warm orange light and haze shows a large life-sized statue of a standing sage in a rust-orange robe and shawl, one arm raised, holding a tall staff, with a rudraksha-style bead necklace. Behind him an ornate gold arched shrine niche holds a smaller deity figure, flanked by gilded carved panels. To the left stands a silver-and-blue carved deity figure on a peacock-like mount, and to the right a gilded guardian statue. Hanging bells and lamps dangle from the ceiling above. The figure is a statue, not a living person, so no physical people are present. Possible a person depiction, appearance-based uncertainty only.
