A woman in a yellow top and a light sari stands at left holding a camera, and a fair-haired person in white sits in the front foreground. On the left a white-draped table holds a brass lamp and offerings beside a row of small statues. A red building with a sign for a temple stands at right beside flowering shrubs.
