Brass oil lamps, a kalasha-style brass vessel, bells and a conch-like offering sit on the platform, with a purple cloth and a small standing figure in a blue-curtained niche to the right. Ganesha reliefs decorate the side walls. No people are visible; the scene reads as an outdoor temple shrine with trees behind.
