A stage set for a temple-style ritual in a hall with maroon drapes and a white ceiling. Several deity murtis are seated on decorated thrones framed by heaps of garlands in yellow, green, red and white. At centre a seated figure in a red and gold garment sits on a red-cushioned throne, flanked by a gold lion, while a man in orange robes with a shaved head, standing at right, makes an offering toward a murti. Two heads are visible in the lower corners, one bald in white. Ritual offerings and abhishekam-style decorations surround the sacred seats.
