A stage at a festival camp with orange and red draped backdrops. Two deity murtis stand on the left in a golden arch, one blue-skinned with a trident and crown, and a fair-skinned consort with a crown, both garlanded. Below them a seated figure in saffron clothes, orange turban and rudraksha-style garland holds a red banner reading शिव पार्वती (Shiva Parvati) and raises a hand in blessing. On the right, a figure in saffron robes with an orange head covering and a mala sits on a gilded throne with a tiger-skin cushion beneath a golden parasol. A bald attendant in saffron stands in front, with a trident and a lamp-lit altar nearby, and several devotees are seated at the bottom edge.
