A decorated stage with a red carpet and maroon drapes holds several golden thrones and deity murtis garlanded with marigolds and flower strands. In the centre, a seated figure in red and gold sits on an ornate golden throne, with a bare-chested figure wearing a shawl and adornments. Other decorated seats hold garlanded deity murtis, including a golden peacock-like vahana and figures in orange and blue silks. Setting suggests a temple-style festival or padapuja arrangement.
