A seated figure in an orange-saffron robe sits on an ornate golden throne with a red cushioned seat beneath a gold canopy, on a raised wooden stage before dark maroon drapes. Flanking the stage are gold-toned statues: a dancing deity figure and a multi-armed deity murti on the left, and a figure holding a veena beside a pair of standing figures on the right, with a tall gold statue in saffron robes holding a fan at the far right. Yellow flower offerings in brass vessels sit on the steps and stage edge. The seated figure appears to be a person, identified by long swept-back hair and saffron robe, which is an appearance-based label only; the stage is a ceremonial setting.
