A stage display at an indoor event, with a large red and gold painted backdrop of a lion-faced deity figure above. Three ornate gold-framed thrones are draped with thick garlands of red, white, yellow and green flowers, and white-and-red fringed parasols stand above them. On the left, a seated figure in saffron-orange robes sits on a white cloth-covered seat. In the centre, a gold throne holds deity murtis with a chariot-like wheel element in front. On the right, a seated figure with a grey beard wears saffron-orange robes and sits beneath a framed portrait. Several framed photographs of spiritual figures and a deity image hang on easels, with brass lamps and a kalasha on the stage. Both figures are seated on the stage and no one else is visible in the frame, though the pictured figures are not counted as present people.
