A woman in a green sari with a gold border leans over a white cabinet-style altar in a room with cream-coloured walls and tall paned windows. On the altar stand two deity murtis in gold and red-and-yellow garments with crowns, one beside a small ornate silver shrine model. She is reaching toward a brass plate of offerings with her hand. Several rows of small painted figurines stand on shelves at the left edge, and a dark mat covers the floor.
