Two women in red silk saris with gold zari borders sit cross-legged on a low wooden platform in front of a decorated altar. Each holds a pink flower and a small orange offering in her hands. Behind them stand a large pink deity murti with purple and yellow garlands and a backdrop of draped fabric. White and purple flowers are scattered on the platform in front, and a woman in an orange sari sits partly visible at the right edge. The setting suggests a puja or ritual offering.
