Several devotees sit cross-legged on a carpeted floor in a temple hall, facing white marble deity murtis on a raised platform at the back. Three standing deity figures wear gold crowns and ornate red and green garments, one holding a staff. In the foreground a woman in a purple silk saree with gold bangles holds a brass plate of flowers and offerings, while a man in a white kurta and blue mask holds a plate and sits with hands folded. Another woman in a teal saree and a man in white clothes sit behind them. A glass display cabinet with framed photographs stands to the left, and a yellow wall with a red-and-gold hanging is visible. The scene suggests a puja offering being performed.
