A woman with grey hair pulled back and a red bindi sits on a granite ledge, dressed in an orange sari with a gold border and a brown bead necklace. She is arranging small terracotta oil lamps and wicks on the stone, tucking white cotton wicks into the lamp bowls with her hands. A square terracotta lamp sits among the round ones, a gold-coloured metal bowl lies in the foreground, and a blue bucket holding metal tools and a stone linga-shaped piece stands behind her beside a fence and rows of stone lingas. Four lamps are prepared on the ledge, with a few more scattered nearby. Several people are not visible.
