A photograph of an outdoor pandal stage under a pink-and-white tent canopy. Three ornate gold-coloured thrones are arranged in a row on a red-draped platform. The centre throne is a large gilded shrine-like structure with an arched niche, decorated with a multicoloured floral garland and a lit oil lamp at its base. The throne on the left and the throne in the centre each have marigold and multicoloured flower garlands on their backrests, and the left one has a figure seated on it, a deity murti rather than a living person. A red-draped table with a small brass oil lamp stands in front, and a flat-screen television sits at the bottom edge. A video camera on a crane arm is visible at left. No living people are clearly visible on the stage.
