A temple-style stage decorated with golden deity thrones and garlands of marigolds and red flowers. On the left, a priest in a saffron-red dhoti and shawl stands on the steps, pouring liquid from a vessel toward the deities. A seated figure in red clothing sits near a potted-plant arrangement and rock-like pieces in the centre, in front of a painted backdrop of trees and a golden deity murti. Gold lion and bull figures flank the thrones. Two people at a desk in the lower right and a person in saffron seated at the lower left watch the ritual.
