A woman in an orange sleeveless saffron garment with her back to the camera walks along a covered red-carpeted walkway lined with stainless steel railings, approaching a shrine. Inside the shrine, a colourful deity murti with red and gold decoration sits on a raised platform with an offering tray of fruit or gold items in front. Hanging banners with patterned tassels in red, blue and yellow decorate the orange-painted wall, which carries framed photographs and printed panels. A small speaker is mounted on the wall. No one else is clearly visible apart from a partially seen figure near the shrine.
