A temple ritual scene at a shrine. A woman in a leopard-print blouse, a red and orange skirt and cloth, and a red headwrap with a white flower garland holds a lit lamp toward a deity murti. Behind her, two men in saffron-red robes and tall decorated caps stand, one at left with a rudraksha mala. The central deity is adorned with a multicoloured flower garland, and a golden shivalinga stands in front of a gold-framed altar backdrop. Brass oil lamps and a kalasha-like vessel sit on the stone floor with flowers. Aarti is being performed.
