A stage set with a dark red curtain backdrop, carved wooden panels with hanging colourful decorative tassels, and brass oil lamps on stands. A seated figure sits on an ornate carved wooden throne with cushions and a leopard-print cloth. The figure wears orange-brown robes and a white flower garland, with a long dark beard and hair. Behind the throne is a golden deity murti of a seated goddess with a child, framed by a green leafy backdrop. Potted plants and terracotta pots sit on a striped woven rug. The seated figure appears to be a statue or mannequin rather than a live person, so no physical people are counted. Swamiji is probable as a depiction of the figure on the throne, based on the long hair and beard, saffron robes and garland; the figure looks like a wax-style statue with a fixed pose.
