A stage puja scene with a man in long, swept-back dark hair and a rust-red robe standing at left with palms pressed together in namaskar, facing a richly decorated central deity murti seated on an ornate silver-and-gold throne. The murti wears a pink silk sari, a gold necklace and a green headdress and is framed by garlands of red, white, purple and yellow flowers. Two golden standing figures flank the murti, one holding a lamp, and a silver-topped umbrella hangs above. Brass oil lamps stand on the stage, and a backdrop shows a red illuminated temple tower with a starry sky, with a 'a person' copyright credit in the lower right.
