A woman in a bright blue crocheted-shoulder top and beige trousers stands at left, reaching toward a golden seated statue. The statue wears a maroon turban, a maroon and gold-bordered dhoti and shawl, and layered white and gold garlands, with a red mark on its chest and a red flower in its hand. Behind it hang green, blue and gold drapes and golden lion-faced pedestals. Before it is a black-tiled plinth with a framed black-and-white photograph of a Shivalingam, surrounded by green bilva leaves, pink lotus flowers, a plate of leaves and a small lit oil lamp on a maroon cloth. The statue is not a living person; the one physical person is the woman.
