Devotees perform a puja at a gold-decorated altar. In the foreground, a woman in a red sari with gold border pours liquid from a small silver vessel onto a large ornate gold tray heaped with red and orange flowers, fruit and brass bowls. Beside her, a woman in a rust-coloured sari with a rudraksha-style mala watches closely. A boy in white with hands folded and an older man in a white floral-print shirt with a red thread on his wrist reach toward the offerings. Another man in white shirt holds a brass vessel. A figure in yellow robes sits on a gold throne at the left edge, partly cropped.
