On the stage, a figure in orange-brown robes and beads sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne-like seat in front of a large painted deity image of a goddess holding a lotus-like object. Gold-decorated pillars and a gilded shrine with richly dressed deity murti stand to the right, and a flag and lamps are visible.
