A woman with long grey hair, seen from behind, kneels before a small home shrine set on a deep red cloth in a bright room with two windows. A large printed portrait hangs on the wall above, showing a bearded man in an orange-red turban, orange robes, layered gold and beaded garlands and gold bangles, seated in lotus pose on a tiger skin; the portrait is a printed picture, not a physical person. On the cloth are polished brass plates and bowls holding red rose petals, a conch shell, a small brass lamp, a glass of dark liquid, and incense smoke rising. A tray of red roses wrapped in gold cloth sits to the left. The woman wears a blue patterned top and a yellow flower in her hair.
