A woman in a cream and gold silk saree stands at the left edge, back partly to the camera, placing an orange and yellow marigold garland around a black stone deity murti. The murti is standing within an ornate gilded arched frame carved with makara-like motifs, adorned with silver and gold ornaments and a tall crown. Orange and yellow marigold garlands drape the figure. In front, a small grey table holds folded cloths in green, pink, and orange, and a brass pot sits on the dark plinth to the right. This is a temple shrine scene; no other people are visible.
