A group of children and adult women sit on mats on a white cloth in a temple shrine room with gold-framed walls. Brass plates hold flower petals, leaves and small oil lamps, and a brass lamp burns in the foreground. Behind them stand a seated Ganesha murti with orange cloth and garlands and a standing deity murti in a blue and gold garment with a flower garland. A woman in a bright orange sari with a red-and-gold border sits at right, wearing a face mask. A young boy in a white dhoti and orange scarf sits at left, and a girl in a blue and red dress stands near the deity. The scene suggests a puja or aarti offering.
