A woman in a white embroidered kurta with a pink and white dupatta stands at left, leaning over an orange cloth-covered altar and tending an oil lamp. Behind her, three deity murtis stand in a gilded arch before a blue starry backdrop: at centre a figure in orange-gold dhoti with a tall black crown and necklaces, flanked by two figures in red and green garlanded silk attire. Their necks and bodies are wrapped in yellow, orange and white marigold garlands. At right, a seated sannyasi figure stands on a red-cushioned seat in saffron-toned clothing with rudraksha-style garlands, next to a framed photo. A brass lamp, kalasha-style offerings and flower petals sit on the altar; the scene reads as a daily puja or abhishekam in progress.
