A figure in orange saffron robes with gold-bordered wrap, long wavy dark hair falling down the back, stands with hands joined in prayer before a shrine. Inside an ornate gold-framed arch sits a dark deity murti draped in red cloth, adorned with white flower garlands, a yellow marigold garland, jewelled necklace and a gold crown. Brass oil lamps flank the altar, with a small brass figurine and rangoli-style coloured border in yellow, red and white in front. Another partially visible person in orange stands at the left edge.
