A man in a rust-brown kurta and matching dhoti stands centrally in an ornate golden temple-style gateway on a stage. He rests one arm on a long wooden staff topped with a trident, and wears a red tilak on his forehead. Gold lion-headed pillars and carved bracket figures frame him, with brass oil lamps on stands and a brass trident beside him. Behind him hangs a curtain of small lights, and painted blue and pink columns with multi-armed deity figures surround the set.
