A worship scene in a small room with pink walls. On the left a man in a yellow embroidered kurta holds a lit oil lamp aloft with one hand. In the foreground an orange cloth covers a spread of offerings on plates: fruits including bananas, oranges, apples and a papaya, sweets, and bowls of grains and powders. Beside a brass oil lamp on a stand, a white-painted altar holds marigold garlands, small deity murti figures and a flame. On the right, a statue of a seated bearded figure wearing a red-orange shawl, a crown-like headpiece, a white beaded necklace and a gold chain sits on the altar, with a purple light strip behind it. A framed photograph sits at the right edge. Statues are not physical people.
