A stage at an indoor hall with a gold-framed backdrop, a beige curtain and a carved Nataraja-style dancing Shiva relief. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes, a dark cap and a rudraksha-style bead mala sits on a wooden throne in the centre, with a tall silver-white oil lamp or kalasha beside him. To the right, two deity murtis are dressed in yellow and red silk, garlanded with white flowers, one wearing a crown. A video camera on a tripod and a stage monitor stand in the foreground, with track lights overhead. Appearance-based label: a person may be the seated figure in saffron, but his features are not clear enough to confirm the identity.
