A photograph of a temple-style stage with a seated figure in saffron-orange robes and white arm bands, hands pressed together in prayer, on a gold-and-red throne flanked by golden lion figures. Beside a painted blue pillared backdrop stands a standing figure in pink and green garments and white dhoti, arms raised, and a figure in a gold-trimmed saffron robe at right holds a lamp or ritual object. Behind them, decorated deity murtis with flower garlands sit under a golden arch, with two smaller figures in green and pink garments seated before them. Brass lamp stands, a golden kalasha-like stand and an oil lamp are on the stage; a standing floor fan and an air conditioner unit are visible in the hall.
