A seated man in a deep maroon robe and a white flower garland sits on an ornate gold throne (simhasana) on a raised stage. The throne is flanked by gilded carved pillars topped with rearing mythical lion-like figures, and a gold canopy with a cobra-hood style crest rises behind him. Hanging brass bells and lamps hang from the ceiling, and a striped kilim-style rug covers the platform. A dark red curtain and purple-blue stage lighting frame the scene, with a brass railing in front. The seated man is the only visible person; the setting is a temple-style stage with a peetha throne.
