Two women stand with palms pressed together in namaste in a home shrine room with parquet flooring. The woman on the left wears a pale pink embroidered salwar kameez and is barefoot; the woman on the right wears a white saree with a gold border and a red-and-gold blouse, with a red bindi and a red thread at her neck. Behind them stands a life-size printed photo of a smiling woman in a red and gold shawl, teal skirt, flower-decorated headdress and white and red garlands, placed in a gilded shrine niche. Before the image sit a brass plate of fruit, sweets and red flower petals, a brass oil lamp, a brass kalasha-style pot, and a rattan side table holding a brass thali with rice, fruit and offerings. A gilded oval mirror hangs on the wall, and a book labelled KAILASA KENT lies on a shelf at left.
