Behind him, a gold arched frame holds a deity murti with a crown, surrounded by garlands. Flanking the stage are gold arched shrines with a figure at left and a deity murti at right draped in red and garlanded, with gold attendant statues between them. Coloured fringed parasols hang above. Offerings sit on a silver tray at the front.
