A ceremonial stage scene in front of a large decorated backdrop with striped garland arches and a central arched shrine. A large deity murti of a seated couple with attendants and a floral lotus-petal display stands above. In the centre, a seated figure in saffron-orange robes sits on a gold throne with red floral garlands, while a standing figure in white and another in saffron orange stand beside. Around them, people in white dhotis and saris in yellow, lavender, teal and green, some with hands folded or offering flowers, stand on a red carpet during what appears to be a puja. Visible people number roughly fifteen.

A man in saffron-orange robes with long dark hair sits on a gold-and-red peetha/throne bordered with red flowers. A man in white dhoti and shirt bends forward and places his hand on the seated figure's head, while other people in white clothes, saris and a light green sari stand around.
