A line of about eight women stands on a polished floor in front of a stage backdrop showing a painted forest scene and a framed deity image with a gold arch, two figures in red and gold. The women wear saris and dresses in yellow, cream, pink, orange, peach and green, with one holding a baby. Two seated women in yellow saris sit at the right on an orange mat beside a striped textile panel. Colourful patterned pillars hang from the tent ceiling and a red chair is at the left.

At left stands a gold mount with a large deity murti draped in a flower garland, and a gold bull-form figure. Oil lamps and brass implements are set nearby.
