A decorated stage with a seated figure on a red-cushioned silver throne framed by a gold arch hung with multicolour garlands of yellow, red, pink and purple flowers. The seated figure wears an orange turban, orange robes, a yellow-beaded necklace and gold ornaments, with the palm of one hand raised, though this appears to be a large printed cutout or backdrop rather than a physical person. Beside him stands a gold metal statue of a standing female figure holding a pot, and at right a second gold arch frames a deity murti dressed in green and gold with flower garlands and a red flower in hand. Green cloth covers the base, and a red curtain hangs behind the stage.
