Two women sit with palms pressed together in namaskar, eyes closed, in prayer before a large framed portrait. The woman in front wears a red striped kurta and dupatta with a red bangle, and the woman behind wears a bright pink kurta with dark blue trousers and a wrist bangle. The portrait shows a smiling bearded man with a red-orange turban and a yellow-and-pink flower garland, with rudraksha malas hanging from the frame. Below it are a brass deity murti, a red-and-gold decorated shrine, marigold garlands, and a plate of orange and red powders with small brass bowls on a patterned rug. Two physical people are visible.
