Evening scene at a temple with a red-walled shrine. A seated figure in a rust-red garment and orange cloth, on red-tiled steps, pours from a steel vessel toward a garlanded deity murti with a gold trident behind it. A woman in a yellow and red silk sari stands with her back to the camera beside a large steel pot. Two men in white shirts and white dhotis stand nearby, and a child in a pale jacket sits at the bottom edge holding a steel plate. Metal plates and a tumbler lie on the floor, with a crystal chandelier at the upper left.
