A stage in a temple-style hall shows a shaved-headed priest in a saffron-brown cloth with a gold-edged shawl, seen from behind, lifting a silver multi-branched lamp (aarti) before a seated figure. The seated figure sits on a gold throne draped with a tiger-skin cloth, wearing a crown-like headpiece, a gold necklace, bangles, and a saffron-orange dhoti, hands folded in prayer with eyes closed. Beside the throne stands a figure with gold ornaments and an orange-green garment, and to the left a large golden deity murti with a silver necklace, garlanded in red and yellow flowers, mounted on a golden lion-shaped vahana. Gold lion statues, painted pillars and a wooden door complete the setting.
