A woman in a white sari with a gold border bends forward at an altar, placing offerings with her hands. The altar holds a plate of fruit including grapes, oranges, green apples and a pineapple, bowls of nuts and sweets, and a red-and-gold plate. A golden lion sculpture stands beside a large golden statue of a standing figure wearing a maroon-and-gold turban and garlands of orange and white flowers and green beads. Gold and silver decorative metalwork, a yellow cloth and a small deity figure complete the shrine setting.

Behind her stands a golden statue of a seated figure wearing a red and gold turban, layered beaded necklaces and a maroon and gold wrap, with one hand raised in blessing. A golden lion-head sculpture stands to the left. In front of the statue is a framed photograph on a small stand, lit by oil lamps, with pink lotus flowers and a maroon cloth-draped table below.
