A stage set in a temple-like backdrop with painted ochre and green columns and arches framing a central doorway. Two large painted dvarapala guardian figures with multiple arms and raised weapons stand on either side of the doorway. In the doorway a small figure holds a trident, wearing a dark garment and beaded necklaces, backed by strings of warm fairy lights. Brass oil lamps stand on the floor at the sides, and bells hang from the top of the red curtains. Green and amber stage lighting washes the scene and the floor reflects the lights.
