A temple shrine with a black stone deity murti seated under a gilded arch garlanded with flowers, wearing a red sari with gold border; a bare-armed attendant in white reaches toward it. Gold oil lamps stand at the right, a small gold figure and a metal sri yantra-like object sit at the base, and white flowers are scattered on the floor. Two framed portraits hang on the wall at right: the upper one shows an elderly saffron-robed sannyasi holding a staff, the lower one shows a smiling elderly man in orange robes with a staff. The scene suggests Raja Rajeshwari puja and abhishekam.
