A woman in an orange sari stands with her back to the camera, holding a lit oil lamp in one hand and a brass bell in the other before a golden statue. The seated golden statue wears a maroon turban, layered white bead garlands and a maroon shawl with gold border, sitting on a gold lotus-petal backdrop draped with green, blue and maroon cloths. Gold lion-form pillars flank the altar, a silver-toned shrine cabinet stands at right, and a white-faced deity murti in a purple garment appears at the far right edge. The setting is a plain tiled room with concrete block walls.
