A woman in an orange sari with gold borders bends forward at a red-and-white temple enclosure, pressing her hands and forehead to its edge in devotion. She wears rudraksha malas and bangles, and her hair is in a bun. Beside her on the left sits a white statue of a seated figure with a red turban, red robes and white flower garlands, hands raised in blessing. A dark stone plaque with Tamil lettering stands in front of the enclosure, and a tray of yellow flowers is visible at the upper right. The scene appears to be an outdoor temple shrine.
