Two women sit side by side in front of a decorated deity murti, wearing orange and red saris with a dark leaf-pattern print, pink lotus flowers held in their hands, and beaded necklaces. A brass oil lamp with a lit flame stands between them and the altar, and garlands and colourful draped fabric fill the background, with a wooden drum-like object at the right edge. Their eyes are closed and their posture is composed.
