Women devotees in saris offer a golden tray during worship of a decorated deity murti seated on a golden throne with a central ornate murti in an orange cloth, garlanded with white and red flower garlands. Four women in orange, magenta and maroon saris stand at the altar, their hands reaching toward the tray. Two smaller murtis flank the central image, one wearing a green garment. Marigold petals are scattered on the floor, along with an open book, a microphone and oil lamps. Carved stone pillars and a red-railed shrine frame the scene.
