Five young women sit in a row in front of a garlanded deity murti draped in red and marigold garlands. They wear saris in cream, white, orange and pink with gold borders, and each has marigold and white flower garlands around the neck. A priest in a reddish-brown dhoti with gold border stands at right, holding a small vessel and pouring or offering from it over a small oil lamp on a stand. A silver bowl and lamp sit in the foreground with scattered petals, and smoke rises from a ritual fire. Brass lamps stand at left. The scene appears to be a homa or puja offering.
