Outdoor ritual scene with a red-draped altar holding several deity murtis: a four-armed figure with a gold crown, holding a trident-like staff and other objects, adorned with garlands, rudraksha beads and a red bead necklace, with a vibhuti marking on the forehead; flanking figures wear gold crowns and rudraksha or flower garlands, and small kalasha-style pots with green leaves and red flowers sit in front. On the left, a standing woman in a red-orange sari with a dark braid holds a long blue and orange fringed parasol. Beside her, a child is seen from behind. Behind the altar are trees, a red-and-white cloth and a camera on a tripod.
