A night photograph of an illuminated temple-style stage with green and amber lighting. Two tall gold-coloured dvarapala-like guardian statues with multiple arms stand flanking a central doorway framed in ornate gold trim. In the doorway stands a figure in dark robes holding a trident, appearing to be a deity murti or statue rather than a living person. Strings of small lights hang inside the doorway. Brass oil lamps on tall stands sit on both sides of the stage, and their reflection shows in the water pool in the foreground.
