A photograph taken from behind of a woman in a maroon and gold sari with a gold border, standing barefoot on red-and-white striped steps at the threshold of an open pavilion. Her hands are raised above her head in prayer. Ahead, a dim hall with red and white draped pillars and garlands leads to a shrine area with a deity murti and a blue cloth. A figure in orange robes with hands joined stands at the right edge, and a few other figures are faintly visible in the background.
