Before him stands a silver side table, and behind him a large gilded throne-like altar holds a golden nandi bull and decorated deity murti garlanded with yellow and multicoloured flower strings. Flanking deity statues are dressed with garlands, and red velvet drapes and striped canopies frame the stage. A camera on a tripod faces the stage, and audience members are visible at the bottom edge.
