A stage performance at night under blue and white spotlights, with a painted temple-courtyard backdrop of arches and tiled roofs. A seated figure in a deep red-brown robe and matching turban sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, holding a staff. Around the throne, several bare-chested men in white dhotis with gold borders and orange saffron shawls stand facing him, and a woman in a maroon sari stands at right. A tall trident-like staff stands beside the throne. The scene resembles a staged reenactment rather than a live ritual. The figure on the throne is not identifiable from appearance alone.
