A woman in a cream and gold floral sari with a rust-orange blouse stands at right with palms pressed together in namaste, smiling, wearing glasses, a rudraksha mala and a vertical vibhuti mark on her forehead. In front of her a dark stone altar holds a black stone lingam-like form with a white ribbon tied around it, several black stone deity murtis with gold crowns and jewelled necklaces, including one in white draped cloth and one in orange, and a row of silver bowls and plates with offerings, flower petals and rice. A brass oil lamp and a silver plate stand on the dark wooden table in the foreground, with maroon curtains behind. The scene suggests a puja or abhishekam setup.
