A woman in white ritual clothes with a white shawl and a vertical white tilak on her forehead lights an oil lamp before a framed portrait placed on a silver stand at a shrine. The framed portrait is garlanded with white jasmine and has a red flower and red cloth at its base. Two pink lotus flowers float in a bowl beside it, and white flower strands lie on the floor. Behind the shrine, a golden statue of a seated figure wearing a maroon and gold patterned turban, layered beaded necklaces and a maroon-and-gold shawl sits on a yellow pedestal. Golden lion-like guardian figures flank the shrine, and drapes of green, blue and magenta fabric hang behind. The scene shows puja and aarti at a temple-style room.
