Outdoor puja before a multi-armed goddess murti with white crown and marigold garlands, standing beside a lion and a Ganesha figure, under a tin roof. In the foreground a bronze oil lamp and brass pot sit before woven baskets of fruit and offerings. On the right, a man in a green dhoti and green shirt with a red-and-gold shawl raises his hand to his head. Two men in white dhotis with orange shawls and rudraksha malas stand behind a tray of flowers and a brass plate, and another man in orange robes is partly visible at the right edge. No figure can be identified as a person from appearance, so a person is unsure. A banner reads MEET the Master with a photograph in the background.
