A temple sanctum stage decorated with gold and jewel-toned murtis garlanded in marigolds and bright flower strands. A bald priest in a rust-red dhoti with a gold border stands on the white steps, facing the central deity murti and holding a ritual object in his raised hands. Behind the altar, a painted forest backdrop frames a bronze group of figures, potted plants and rocks surround the stage, and a maroon velvet drape hangs above. Two partially visible people in white and red clothing sit at the lower right edge.
