A woman in a white garment with a gold border performs a puja at a table draped in orange cloth, holding a lit oil lamp and a brass item near brass lamps, a bowl of fruit and grapes, and steel bowls of offerings. Behind her, a row of black stone Siddha statues in seated postures wear red and orange garments and garlands of marigolds and yellow flowers, placed on dark pedestals with small offering plates and oil lamps before them. Smoke from incense rises near the table. The walls are yellow-beige cinderblock.
