A woman in a magenta blouse and dark striped sari with a rudraksha mala stands at an outdoor black stone deity murti, garlanding it with yellow marigolds and red and white flowers while touching the garland at its chest. The four-armed black murti wears a green and gold brocade dress, a flower crown, and a white and red tilak on its forehead. In front on the concrete platform are two black pots of cooked rice dishes, a brass oil lamp, a bowl of food, bananas, grapes and fruit. Dry grass, eucalyptus trees and a wooden fence form the backdrop.
