A ritual scene in a hall with a gold-framed shrine and a deity murti dressed in red and gold cloth, with a rainbow-coloured garland of yellow, purple, red and green flowers draped over the shrine. The murti is adorned with a crown, jewelled necklaces and a kumkum mark. In front stands a sacred pot wrapped in white cloth and garlanded with yellow and white flowers. A standing priest in a red-orange dhoti and shawl with a red turban and flower garland holds a tall brass oil lamp and performs aarti, while a second man kneels at left in orange cloth. Tall brass lamps flank the shrine, and a red-cushioned gold throne stands at right beside another large garland.
