A woman in an orange sari kneels before the central seat, tending to a wrapped bundle and offerings, while a woman in a white sari with a gold border stands at left near a row of small brass figures. Floor tables are laden with fruit, sweets, nuts, bananas, and small bowls of food on red and pink cloths, with brass oil lamps standing nearby. A woman in a green sari sits at the far left edge.
