A woman in a red sari with a red-and-gold blouse and a mala stands at right, holding a plate with flowers as she offers to a bare-chested man in an orange dhoti who is shown from behind. A gold oil lamp with a flame-shaped top and a gold-domed incense or kalasha vessel sit in front, with a red cloth draped over a low platform and a striped cloth spread on the ground. An elderly man in an orange dhoti and orange shawl with an orange head cloth stands at right with folded hands, and people in white stand farther back. A red-and-yellow canopy with a bird emblem covers the left edge.
