A devotee in orange robes bends forward at a shrine, pressing his hands and forehead toward a golden deity murti seated beneath an ornate gilded arch. The deity wears a multicoloured turban, jewelled necklaces and a blue garment, and is draped with marigold and yellow flower garlands. Before the shrine stands a smaller white statue in orange robes and a saffron turban, holding one hand raised in blessing, with brass lamps, a kalasha and flower-filled vessels nearby. The scene is an interior shrine with a wooden ceiling and a brass oil lamp at left.
