A dimly lit temple-style stage set with a red draped valance and hanging brass bells along the top. Two large painted orange and green guardian figures with multiple arms flank a central doorway framed by ornate gold and red painted columns. In the doorway stands a single figure in dark ornate costume holding a staff, surrounded by string lights. Brass lamp stands with lit oil lamps and brass vessels rest on the floor, with green and orange stage lighting washing the scene. The image is a photograph of a decorated set rather than a gathering of people.
