A devotee in an orange sleeveless top and orange sarong bends forward with head bowed over a stone altar ledge in front of a decorated shrine. The shrine holds a gilded deity murti and a small red-robed figure garlanded with flower strands, with a large silver-framed image and dark blue velvet curtains at the side. Brass oil lamps, a kalasha-like vessel and offering trays sit on the ledge, and white and purple orchids and marigold garlands decorate the scene. Behind, a man in a teal shirt stands near a drum while another man in white sits to the left.
