A temple shrine scene at a homa fire pit set before a large deity murti with blue skin, a crown and a red-orange garland. A man in saffron-orange robes stands at the right with hands pressed together in namaste, a rudraksha-style mala and gold necklace visible. Beside him a man in white dhoti and shawl with an orange border holds a silver tray of offerings. A square fire pit with a copper bowl of orange liquid and ladles sits in front. Oil lamps, brass vessels, a garlanded smaller murti and a yellow-and-blue decorated figure stand on a red cloth. Orange walls, banana plants and a corrugated roof frame the scene.
