A shaved-headed man in an orange robe sits cross-legged on a wooden stool at lower left, reaching toward brass vessels, a small lamp and a bowl of offerings arranged on a white cloth and a tray. Pink flowers lie on the floor, and an ornate gold arch frames the shrine.

A lit oil lamp, flower petals and metal bowls sit on a red and patterned mat in front of ornate gold-toned temple carvings.
