A woman in a cream and pink sari performs ritual worship before a golden statue of a seated figure wearing a red turban, garlands of pink flowers and green beads, and a gold necklace. She leans forward and holds an object toward the statue beside a brass oil lamp with a bright flame. Golden lion-face sculptures flank the altar, and a standing blue-and-gold deity figure appears at right. Brass trays, bowls, bananas and a red-draped table hold offerings.
