A staged tableau on a temple-style stage before a gold arch draped with dark red curtain. Two large deity murtis, a seated goddess-like figure in lavish gold jewellery and a red-and-white garland sits on a green-draped throne beside a second deity in a purple sari. In front, two children in costume sit cross-legged: a boy in a magenta and pink lower garment with yellow garland raises his hands in a mudra, and a girl in a green and pink dress with white beads and pearl necklace holds a small object. A standing young man in a pink and green silk garment and white dhoti, with white forehead band and moustache, lifts two red fruits. Brass lamps and a bowl sit at the front; a painted backdrop shows a carved figure.
