A woman in a navy and maroon silk sari with gold border sits cross-legged on a pink mat, hands pressed together in prayer with a white tilak on her forehead and bangles on her wrists. Beside her a seated figure in bright blue silk is partly visible in the foreground, and a green-clad person and others with folded hands sit at left. On the mat are a brass plate of flowers, a copper pot, small brass oil lamps with a lit flame, an incense holder, a brass tray, a conch-shaped vessel and a matchbox. A copper kalasha sits at right beside a small standing statue of a robed figure with folded hands. The setting appears to be a home room with a white garage-style door behind.

Several devotees sit in front: a woman in a red blouse and orange-gold sari pours from a vessel, a woman in a green and purple sari sits in the centre, a woman in a grey patterned outfit sits at right, a man in white kurta sits behind the altar, and children in white and grey clothing join with folded hands, one girl in pink holding a bell-like brass item. Roughly eight to ten physical people are visible.2021-03-11 +1 copiesKAILASA MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA on 3/11/20212021-03-11 +3 copiesDecember 19 2022 sripuram2022-12-19KAILASA SINGAPORE on 10/20/20202020-10-20Photo 99199882022-04-09 +1 copiesKAILASA SINGAPORE on 1/17/20212021-01-17A Navaratri puja at a temple-style shrine with three deity murtis seated on a throne, adorned with garlands of marigolds and red flowers and ornate silver-toned jewellery.
