A woman in a white sari with light embroidery stands at right, holding a lit oil lamp toward a row of black stone sculptures. The sculptures are seated figures with small heads, each draped in orange-red cloth and garlanded with yellow and white flowers, set in a line along a plain wall. A brass plate on an orange-draped table holds small bowls, fruit and flowers, with a brass lamp beside them. The setting appears to be an indoor shrine room with beige walls and a dark red base below the statues.
