A woman in a rust-brown sari with an orange border stands at left, facing a shrine holding a red-and-white garland and a small brass plate, her hands raised in worship. The shrine has three sculpted figures on a purple-draped platform, framed by marigold and red-flower garlands in yellow, red, and green. At centre is a silver-and-gold ornamented deity murti with a tall crown and jewelled necklaces; to its left, a figure in an orange-red robe and rudraksha-style beads; to its right, a figure in purple with a crown. Offering trays of flowers, garlands and small brass vessels sit in front, with scattered petals on the floor. A red-cushioned gilded chair appears at far left. The setting is a tiled ashram room with a tan wall, consistent with a prana prathista puja.
