A woman in an orange sari with a thin bindi kneels at a shrine lighting a small oil lamp with a wick, her hands cupped around the flame. Beside her a golden statue seated on a blue draped pedestal shows a figure in a maroon and orange robe, a maroon turban with a jewelled ornament, a white jasmine garland and rudraksha beads, one hand raised in blessing. A golden lion-faced carved throne stands behind the statue. On the table before the woman are a brass plate of fruit including grapes, oranges, mangoes, bananas and apples, a brass tray of lit oil lamps, pink lotus flowers, and a framed photograph garlanded with white flowers. A wall-mounted heater is visible at left, and a brass plate with banana bunches sits at right.
