A decorated stage shrine is framed by an ornate silver-and-jewelled arch covered in marigold and red flower garlands. Beneath a red canopy with white floral fringes, a seated figure in orange-saffron robes and a red-and-white garland sits on a bed of marigolds, while petals fall through the spotlight. Beside it, a deity murti on a decorated stand is draped in a multicolour floral arch. Brass pots and offerings of fruit and flowers sit at the base. No physical people are visible in the frame beyond the central depicted figure, which appears as a statue or portrait rather than a living person.
