A stage shrine with a golden Nandi bull and a deity murti draped in a garland of red, yellow, green and white flowers. A bald priest in a red-brown dhoti with gold borders stands at left, holding a lit lamp toward the bull. At right, a seated man in an orange turban and orange robe, with a pink flower garland and gold necklace, sits with palms pressed together on a gold throne covered with a tiger-skin cloth. Potted plants, rocks and a brass lamp fill the centre, and a painted backdrop of a large banyan tree with a small golden figure sits behind them. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure, identified by orange turban, ornate gold jewellery and garland, and throne seating.
