A decorated Ganesha murti stands in a shrine framed by an arched gold surround and draped with multicolored flower garlands in red, yellow, orange and white. An orange shawl hangs over the deity's shoulders. Below, a raised pink-draped altar holds smaller garlanded images, coconuts, fruit and offerings. In the foreground a brick fire pit burns with a bright flame amid scattered flower petals, indicating a homa or fire ritual. A person in a dark garment stands at the right edge of the shrine.
