A figure in orange robes bows low with head down at the stone base of a shrine, facing a carved stone platform. Behind it stands a deity murti pair decorated with marigold and yellow garlands; the central figure holds a trident and a rudraksha-style mala, and the figure beside it wears a red-and-gold crown. Brass puja vessels, a kettle-like pot and small lamps sit on a white-draped altar, with red curtains framing the scene. A gilded throne-like chair with red cushion appears at lower left. The bowing person is seen from behind and the orange-clad figure's identity is not clear from appearance, so this is marked unsure. A man in a pink shirt stands at right in the background.
