A devotee in orange robes stands at left with hands folded in prayer, marked with white ash on the arms, beside brass oil lamps. Under a gilded arched shrine with blue drapes, a pair of deity murti sit enthroned, one in red and gold with a crown and garlands, the other in blue with a crown. Marigold and yellow flower garlands hang on the murtis and a kalasha-style pot is placed before them, with brass vessels and an oil lamp on the floor in front. A smaller figure in orange and red garlands sits at the foot of the shrine. A second orange-robed person kneels at the right edge. The scene suggests a puja at a temple shrine.
