A young girl with short dark hair sits cross-legged on a floor beside a brass puja tray, hands pressed together in prayer and eyes closed. She wears a white garment with a gold-bordered sash and a small red bindi. On the tray are a lit brass oil lamp, a white conch shell, a folded red and green silk cloth with gold zari, a small gold-toned metal stand, a jar of honey-coloured offering and a sprig of purple flowers. A gold and magenta embroidered cushion and a zebra-striped cloth lie to the left, and colourful dressed deity figures are visible on a shelf behind her. The scene shows a home-style pada puja with dhoopa and deepa offerings.
