Two men stand on a stage before a golden throne with a tiger-skin cushion and a red-draped seat. A white-haired elderly man in an orange dhoti and orange shirt, with vibhuti marks, holds one end of a flowing orange cloth. A younger man in a brown-and-gold dhoti and a brown shawl with a gold border, bare-chested with sandalwood marks on his arms, unfolds the orange cloth in front of a golden lion-shaped armrest. Behind them stand two more men in brown robes, a gold-decorated temple-style backdrop with painted pillars, a wooden door and a colourful deity statue on the left, and a red curtain on the right.
