At the lower left, two women with covered heads and white cloth sit before microphones at a lectern with lit oil lamps. The setting is a temple-like hall with a deep maroon curtain at right.

Flanking the throne are two large painted deity statues with multiple arms, gold crowns and gold ornaments, holding lotus buds and ritual objects. Brass oil lamps stand on both sides, and a bald figure in an orange-brown robe sits in the foreground with hands raised in devotion, facing the throne.
