A woman in a maroon sari with gold border and a maroon blouse leans forward to hold a small brass lamp near a shrine. Behind her stands a golden statue of a seated figure wearing a maroon turban, layered beaded necklaces and a maroon-and-gold dhoti, with one hand raised in blessing and a red tilak on the forehead, flanked by golden lion-form pillars. In front, a framed black-and-white portrait sits on a red-draped table beside pink flowers and fern, and a long row of small oil lamps burns on a silver-covered table. Puja offerings and garlands lie at the bottom edge. This is a lamp-lighting puja at a temple-style shrine.
