A central stage set with a seated man in a saffron-orange robe and a rust-orange turban, wearing a long rudraksha-style mala, seated before a silver-framed backdrop. Behind him stands a golden bull (Nandi) and an ornate golden deity murti with flower garlands. Flanking the stage are two golden-canopied thrones with yellow and orange marigold garlands, holding a gold-clad figure on the left and a blue-clad deity figure on the right, plus two standing golden female statues. Multicoloured parasols hang above, and a deep red curtain backs the scene. Several smaller offerings and flowers sit on the stage edge.
