A person sits cross-legged in front of a shrine, palms pressed together in namaskar with eyes closed. They wear an orange-rust draped garment, a leopard-print patterned cloth at the waist, layered rudraksha-style beaded malas and a gold necklace. Before them on a red-cloth-covered wooden platform stand two bronze deity murti, one with a crown and raised hand, with pink flowers placed nearby. A small oil lamp and a brass vessel sit in the foreground, and a dark textured wall with potted pink flowers forms the backdrop.
