A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits cross-legged on a gold-and-maroon floral-garlanded throne in the centre of a stage, reading from an open book held before him. Flanking him are two garlanded deity murti on gold pedestals: a green-clad figure on the left and a figure in magenta silk with a gold crown on the right, with a standing companion in green. Dark drapes, a painted arch and a red carpet frame the stage. Appearance-based candidate is unclear, so the seated figure is described by role only.
