Interior of a small shop with glass display cases stocked with bottled and boxed products on the right and shelves at the back. A standing man in white ritual clothes with an orange shawl over his shoulder stands at a small altar with a lit oil lamp, a garland of flowers and framed deity images. Two seated people sit behind a counter on the left, one a woman in pink, and a printer and computer keyboard sit on the counters in the foreground. A ceiling fan hangs above, and a framed picture hangs on the blue wall. The standing man's face is not identifiable here and his hair is short, so there is no distinctive appearance cue to support a person identification.
