A devotee in white clothes bows forehead-down before a seated figure in a maroon robe adorned with a long garland of yellow lemons and pink flowers. The devotee's hand rests on a gilded ornate pedestal decorated with a red, yellow and green flower garland. Nearby, a woman with long braided hair in an orange top stands beside a metal pot, and a white cloth bundle.
