Two women in orange saris with rudraksha malas stand and sit beside her; the woman on the right has her palms pressed together in namaskar. A gold-coloured object and a golden deity murti are in the foreground, with green plants and a white-clad figure in the background. The tray holds a stack of white papers and a small offering.
