A photograph of a stage-like space with a black draped backdrop and potted plants in the foreground. A seated figure in saffron-and-maroon robes with a white garland sits on an ornate gold throne with lion-headed armrests, and appears to be a person based on the saffron robes, garland and ceremonial seated position. Beside a gold-framed deity murti adorned with a green and red garland, a man in maroon robes with a gold border stands with hands folded, holding a brass lamp stand. A seated man in white clothing sits near the base of the murti.
