A photograph of an empty ceremonial stage lit in green, set for a festival. At centre sits a figure on an ornate golden throne (peetha) decorated with garlands and a canopy, shown as a seated statue or murti rather than a live person. Flanking the throne are tall brass oil lamps (lit) and potted flower arrangements. The green backdrop bears large painted or cut-out symbols: an Om sign, a crescent moon, a trident, a Shiva lingam-like emblem and a bird motif. Gold-lit pillars with glowing lanterns frame the stage.
