In front, a priest bare-chested in a white dhoti with coloured border and white body markings pours or offers items over a brass vessel on a red-draped table. The table holds brass plates of fruit including apples and red berries, brass lamps, kalasha-style vessels and bowls of rice and flowers. On the right, a woman in a maroon sari with gold trim stands with palms pressed together in anjali. Behind her another shrine holds smaller deity figures in pink and white. An exit sign is visible on the wall. The scene suggests a puja or abhishekam offering.
