A figure in saffron-orange robes and a long gold-toned shawl bends over a brass oil lamp (deepa) with a bright flame at lower left, while holding a brass vessel above a tiered structure heavily decorated with yellow marigolds and red flowers. Ornate stone carving and a brass urn are visible on the right wall. Smoke drifts through the dim interior. The figure has white forehead markings and wears beaded necklaces and a rudraksha-style mala.
