Photograph of a festive stage under a pink-and-white tent canopy. Centre, a large ornate gilded throne-shrine with an arched canopy holds a seated figure wearing an orange-red garment and a garland of red, white and yellow flowers. To the left, a second gilded seat with a carved golden animal mount holds another flower-garlanded figure. Two tall gilded pillars with floral finials and a carved gilded screen stand at the sides. A red draped platform, a monitor and a brass oil lamp sit in the foreground. No one is visible on the stage apart from the two seated figures; the seated figures may be statues or murtis, so identity is uncertain. Nothing indicates a deity name with certainty.
