A woman in a cream and gold-bordered sari stands with her back partly turned, holding a brass aarti lamp with a lit flame in her right hand while offering it before a row of black stone sage murtis seated on red-brown cloth-draped pedestals, each wearing marigold and yellow flower garlands and rudraksha-style beads. Her hair is in a high bun and she wears gold bangles and hoop earrings. Lit oil lamps and offerings sit on the maroon-covered platform, and a white and gold deity figure with a red crown and garland appears at the lower right. The walls are golden-beige cinder block.

Behind her, a row of about a dozen black stone Siddha statues sit on dark pedestals in red and orange robes, each wearing marigold garlands, with a pale yellow wall behind them. This appears to be a Siddhas puja.2022-02-17A woman in white ritual clothes with a gold-bordered dhoti-style wrap stands at right, facing a row of black stone siddha statues.
