A man in a rust-red dhoti and shawl walks across a raised stage in front of a gold-painted ornate sculptural backdrop with carved lions and pillars flanking a central shrine doorway. Dark red curtains hang above, and a row of brass oil lamps and ceremonial lamp stands line the front edge of the platform. Hanging brass bells dangle from the ceiling rig, and stage lights shine overhead.
