A seated person in a rust-red wrap over a leopard-print skirt performs a ritual at a silver puja setup. They wear a long gold-and-rudraksha mala with a large gold pendant, a red bindi and tripundra ash marks on the forehead. They hold a silver conch-shaped vessel and pour liquid over a silver linga-like object on a silver tray, with a silver kalasha and a small deity murti nearby. A garland of white and orange flowers hangs from a silver pole behind. Diyas and warm lights glow in the background. Appearance is not sufficient to identify the person.
