A woman in a mustard-yellow t-shirt and black skirt sits cross-legged on a wooden floor before a small altar, arranging brass bowls, lamps and offerings on a blue-striped mat. Behind her a large printed backdrop shows a smiling man in an orange turban with a saffron-and-white shawl and gold necklaces, set against red rock mountains; this is a printed image, not a physical person. The altar table holds purple flowers, brass deity figurines, a kalasha-style vessel, a lit oil lamp, fruit, framed photographs and small statues. A phone on a blue stand shows a screen beside her. A plain wall and a standing fan are visible at left.
