A woman in a red sari with a beige blouse bends over a low altar to light a row of small oil lamps on a brass tray. Behind her a large gold-painted statue of a seated figure in a maroon and gold robe, red turban, and ornate beaded necklaces raises one hand in blessing; the statue appears to be a sculpted figure rather than a person. Beside it stands a framed black-and-white image of a deity, with a rudraksha-style mala draped over the frame, pink lotus flowers and a small lamp on a red-cloth-covered stand. A gold lion-shaped statue and a brass oil lamp stand nearby against a beige wall.
