A stage decorated for a ceremony shows a large dark deity murti with a canopy on the left, beside a gilded ornate throne with a red cushion and tiger-skin design. Seated in front of the throne on a red cushion is a man in an orange-red turban with a pink flower garland, sitting with his hands near a brass vessel, as the figure is not clearly identifiable by appearance he is described only by role. To the right, a gold-and-flower-garlanded palanquin frame stands. Behind it, five people in white dhotis and a woman in a pink sari and a woman in a gold-bordered sari stand with hands pressed together in namaskar. Red and multicoloured carpets cover the stage, with stage lights overhead and a red backdrop.
