A photograph of a staged stage scene. A person seated on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-like arms and a red cushion wears a white dhoti-style garment with an orange-and-white cloth wrapped over the head, a large white flower garland, a gold chain necklace and a red-orange shawl, holding a long staff and raising one hand in greeting. Two people lie prostrate in white clothes on the dark red stage steps and floor in front of the throne. Before them are a small brass lamp, a brass kalasha-like vessel with a green plant, a folded cloth with colourful designs, and small lamps. Behind the throne hangs a large backdrop printed with a red and white image, and green and silver tinsel decorations sit at the sides. Dark curtains frame the stage.
