The stage is framed by a colourful arched canopy with yellow, red, green and white ornamentation, hanging green leaf garlands, and strings of orange and white pennants. A large portrait of a man with a saffron-coloured garment and beard is printed on a banner at the top of the canopy. Behind the stage, a big screen shows an illustrated image, and a row of people sits on a flower-decorated platform at the front. Bright floodlights illuminate the scene, and a sign reading Dhyanapeetam appears on the right side of the backdrop.
