A woman stands at the left of a stone temple shrine, smiling and holding a white paper in both hands. She wears a brown and gold patterned blouse, a red and gold saree, and a gold necklace. Behind her, a golden-arched niche holds a large deity murti pair with red and yellow garlands, a silver kalasha and a lingam on a white-draped altar. Brass oil lamps flank the shrine, and a fruit offering sits in front of it. A smaller figure in orange stands in a side niche.
