A stage puja scene with a long-haired man in a maroon dhoti and maroon shawl, wearing a red-and-purple garland and gold bangles, pouring liquid from a golden vessel over a deity murti. The central figure stands at the front, with a second man in a brick-red dhoti kneeling and offering a golden item. A golden female statue with folded hands stands to the right beside a flower-covered alcove. Two attendants in orange and saffron robes flank the scene, one holding a tray. A pink-and-gold parasol canopy and a starry pink-violet backdrop frame the altar, with brass bowls and a silver vessel in front.
