A decorated stage at a Krishna Janmashtami celebration shows a seated man in saffron-orange clothing with a gold crown, a flower garland and a gold necklace, holding a staff across his lap. Beside him stands a man with a bare chest in an orange dhoti, and a priest in white dhoti and shawl with a striped border, holding a staff and wearing a rudraksha mala with a white forehead marking. The cloth-draped canopy is strung with marigold garlands, peacock feathers and hanging white and orange pots. Ornate beaded arches with tassels frame the scene, and a bronze lamp stands at the left edge with the audience's heads visible at the bottom.
