A devotee in an orange-red sari-style garment with a red and green floral garland stands with her back to the camera, lighting an oil lamp before a framed portrait of a young man in saffron robes with a rudraksha mala and a flower garland, shown with raised hand. The portrait sits on a white cloth scattered with rose petals, flanked by brass lamps, a brass plate and incense, with marigold and rose decorations. Shelves and a pressure cooker box are visible in the background. The framed portrait depicts a figure with long dark hair, but as a printed portrait it is not a physical person in the scene.
