A brightly lit temple-style stage with pink, green and gold painted pillars and two large painted guardian figures flanking the centre. The central figure is a standing life-size figure with long dark hair, white flower garlands and a red-and-gold patterned garment, holding a trident-like staff; it appears to be a statue or figurine within a golden ring-shaped arch in front of a gold-embossed backdrop. Brass lamps stand at the sides and a floral arrangement sits at the base, with red cushions in the foreground. No live people are visible.
