A large ornate silver throne (peetha) stands centre stage in front of a big LED backdrop showing a towering gopuram temple tower silhouetted against a pink and orange sunset. The silver throne has a canopy with hanging tassels, a carved arched back with a central deity murti area, and a round leopard-print cushion on its seat, flanked by carved elephant figures. Two performers in dark red and black costumes are bent forward at the lower left and lower right edges of the stage, near the base of the throne, with stage lights rigged overhead. The throne is empty and no seated person is visible.
