Outdoor evening stage performance in front of a small shrine with a golden deity murti garlanded with yellow flowers and a palm-lined backdrop. Two shaved-headed boys in saffron-orange dhoti-style garments sit and crouch on a raised platform; the nearer boy wears a rudraksha mala and gestures with open hands. Behind them, a man with long swept-back hair, a white forehead mark, a saffron wrap and a long red and white flower garland holds a small object to his mouth while gesturing with his other hand.
