Outdoor temple scene with a stone pavilion and pillars. Several women in plain white saris with their hands folded in namaskar stand in a row before a shrine. On the shrine stands a deity murti with a crown, dressed and garlanded with a long marigold garland, flanked by brass oil lamps and a kalasha-like vessel. A red cloth hangs at left. Some devotees in orange-saffron saris and a man in white kneel or stand at the back, and a red-and-white sign about the shrine is visible at right. Trees and a low wall frame the courtyard.
