A worship scene inside a shrine lit by warm lamplight. In the foreground a woman with hair in a bun, wearing a red-and-gold sari and a red flower garland, stands with her back to the camera offering to a deity murti. Behind her a man in a saffron-brown robe holds a lit incense stick or lamp at the left edge. The central murti is a standing deity with a crown and a tall rudraksha-style necklace, flanked by two smaller murtis, all heavily garlanded with white jasmine and marigold strands. A golden cloth covers the altar, and a separate murti or shrine piece in front is draped in green cloth with white flower garlands. Smoke rises from the altar, and a painted golden floral doorframe frames the right side.
