Indoor puja in a plain room with a white garage-style door behind. A woman in a red and gold saree with a navy blue border sits cross-legged on a white cloth, hands pressed in anjali, a white tilak on her forehead. Beside her a man in white clothes sits with hands folded, and several other devotees in green, teal and blue saris pray with palms raised in the foreground. On the floor are brass plates of flowers, a copper kalasha, small oil lamps with lit flames, a brass aarti lamp and a small brass vessel. Behind, bronze deity murtis stand on pedestals, including a multi-armed female form in orange and green drapery holding objects in raised hands.

A large seated statue on the right wears a garland of pink and white flowers, a blue cloth draped below, and raises its hand in blessing; it is a murti, not a living person.
