A person in orange-red robes with gold borders lies prostrate in full obeisance on an orange cloth spread over a marble floor scattered with pink flower petals, facing a shrine. The shrine recess is framed by an arch of warm lights and holds a garlanded deity murti with red flowers, metal lamps and offerings. Two tall brass lamps flank the entrance, with a brass kalasha and a plate on a ledge. A wall clock and a small framed picture hang nearby.
