A person with long black hair and a white vertical forehead mark stands barefoot at the left in a leopard-print sleeveless top and an orange-brown wrap, hands pressed together in namaskar before a large black stone deity murti. The murti wears a white and red-gold silk garment, layered rudraksha-style mala beads, and a red and yellow flower garland, and holds a trident beside it; it is framed by a dark arched halo-like backdrop. A small oil lamp burns on the ledge below, with scattered red petals and yellow flowers around the base in an orange-walled room at night.
