Three women in orange and red saris sit side by side before a deity murti decorated with garlands and a tall brass lamp stand. The woman on the left tends a small brass lamp with a flame, the centre woman holds a pink lotus, and the woman on the right holds a flower and offering, with a man in glasses at the right edge handling the altar. Behind them hangs a large orange banner with Kannada text, and a white altar surface holds brass bowls and scattered flowers. This appears to be a puja or ritual offering scene.
