Inside a temple shrine, white marble statues of Rama and Sita stand adorned with white and red flower garlands, blue jewelled necklaces and gold crowns, with a bow in the hands of the left figure. A woman in a beige sari and blue face mask places red flower petals on a brass tray of fruit and offerings, beside lit oil lamps. A woman in a red blouse and glasses, at the right edge, stands with palms pressed together in prayer. Behind them a golden arch frames a dark deity murti decorated with orange garlands. This appears to be a puja offering during Ram Navami celebrations.
