A woman in a red and magenta sari with a red patterned blouse stands at the left, bending forward to touch the head of a seated golden deity murti in a gilded temple hall. The murti wears a red turban, a white floral garland, and a blue-and-white patterned cloth, and holds one hand raised in blessing. Golden carved pillars, a gold-leaf ceiling and a tiered golden shrine with a flower-decorated canopy frame the scene. A small dark statue stands at the right, brass elephant figures sit at the base, and a silver-rimmed plate of offerings rests on a pink cloth before the murti. Polished reddish floor tiles reflect the light, and a potted plant sits at the right edge. The scene appears to show puja or darshan in a temple.
