A woman in an orange sari with an orange head covering stands at a white-draped table, holding a lit oil lamp toward framed portraits decorated with white and pink garlands and scattered flower petals. Beside her, an older woman in an orange garment and a man in white shirt stand with palms pressed together in prayer, and a figure in orange robes stands behind. The white wall shows scattered petals. The woman with the lamp appears to be a sannyasi or devotee rather than a clearly identifiable a person, so identity is unsure.
