A staged temple-style tableau on a raised platform with a painted backdrop of columns and gold-trimmed pavilion arches. A seated figure in pink clothing and red garland sits on a golden throne with a canopy. A standing gold-colored deity figure with a crown and long limbs stands beside the throne. Two dancers in red and green traditional dress stand on either side, one in a red costume and one in a green sari with white dhoti, striking poses. On the right, a golden arch frames a decorated deity murti dressed in green silk and draped in marigold and red flower garlands. On the left, a black lingam-like stone on an orange cloth is adorned with marigold garlands. Brass oil lamps stand on the platform. Four people are visible: the two dancers and the seated and standing figures appear to be statues or painted figures, so physical people count is two dancers.
