A child in a white ceremonial garment with a gold waist sash stands at a brass altar in a temple room, holding a lit oil lamp (deepa) toward a black stone deity murti with a gold-bead adornment. Smoke rises from incense sticks in a brass holder. Brass plates hold offerings, a small kalasha, flowers and a spoon, and a brass vessel with a spout sits on the altar. Behind, two painted deity figures in blue and pink garments stand beside rows of small orange-clad figures on tiered shelves, and framed photographs hang on the gold-toned wall. The scene shows dhoopa, deepa and naivedhyam being offered during pada puja.
