A woman in a cream-coloured sari with gold bangles performs aarti with a lamp before a deity murti of Devi Rajarajeshwari decorated with white and pink flowers, a jewelled crown and a red garment. The murti sits within an ornate gold arch. Framed portraits flank the altar: one on the left shows a man in a red head covering with a white beard, and one on the right shows an elderly figure in saffron robes with raised hands. A tall green leaf stands beside the murti and garlands drape its shoulders. The setting is a devotional shrine lit warmly by lamps.
