A woman seated outdoors in an orange sari with a maroon border and matching orange blouse, sitting before a row of silver plates and bowls holding fruit and flowers. She has a red bindi and white vertical forehead marks, a dark rudraksha mala around her neck, gold bangles and a gold wristwatch, and she holds a small silver cup in both hands while looking down with eyes closed, apparently in a ritual offering. The setting is a paved courtyard with a red-and-white wall behind her. No visible candidate for a person; she is a devotee in ritual dress.
