A large hall audience faces a golden throne platform. Seated on the central throne, a figure in saffron-orange robes and a dark turban-style headwrap sits with hands pressed together in a namaskar gesture, flanked by a blue painted image of a four-armed Shiva-like deity holding a trident and a drum on the left and two adorned deity figures draped in garlands and colourful silk on the right. Tall decorative pillars and blue and gold panels frame the stage. Many devotees sit on chairs in the foreground, including a person in an orange headwrap, and a golden lectern stands in front of the stage. Multi-coloured garlands hang from the right-hand murtis.
