A stage set with a red and white backdrop and dark curtains. At the centre, a seated figure sits on an ornate gold throne with a flower garland, wearing an orange garment and a white cloth, with a striped canopy above. Brass lamps stand in rows on either side. To the left, a golden bull (nandi) with a flower-garlanded shrine holds a small figure in orange. The stage floor is polished and reflective. The seated figure is too small and distant to confirm identity, so no candidate is asserted.
