A seated woman in a rust-red sari with folded hands prays before a large multi-armed Durga murti on a draped platform during a puja. The deity wears red and green garments and ornaments, holds weapons, and rides a lion. Flanking figures include a green-skinned deity with a sword and another in gold and red. Before the platform are brass plates with yellow flowers, kumkum, turmeric, and a lit oil lamp, plus a small framed picture and a golden trident. A standing person in orange and pink drapery stands behind her, and a brass kalasha-style lamp stand sits to the side under a corrugated roof.
