A man in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban sits with palms pressed together on an ornate silver-trimmed seat before a golden arch backed with yellow and red garlands and a gilded deity murti. Flanking him are two large golden deity statues in garlanded arches, one dressed in blue with a crown and the other in green and blue with a crown. Oil lamps burn on the floor, and a standing attendant in orange on the left holds a lamp. The stage is covered in a rug and flower petals.
