A ceremonial puja on a raised stage before an ornate silver throne draped with multicoloured garlands in yellow, red, purple and pink. A seated figure in red-brown ceremonial dress, with a gold crown, gold jewellery and a green cloth at the crown, has a sceptre-like rod across the lap while a standing attendant in orange and a shaved-headed figure in orange-brown clothing serve ritual items beside him. A silver statue of a standing deity figure stands at right, with a dark backdrop of city lights, and a ceiling fan and air conditioning unit at left.

Beside the throne, a golden statue of a female deity stands at right.
