A woman in an orange sari stands at the right edge of a temple shrine, facing a framed portrait on a red-upholstered chair draped with orange cloth and marigold-and-yellow garlands. The portrait shows a smiling man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala seated in meditation. Behind it, a stone shrine holds a deity murti of a seated couple with golden crowns and a garland, with brass lamps, a kalasha and brass oil lamps set before it. Orange curtains hang from carved stone pillars, banana plants frame the scene, and a tray of fruit or offerings sits on the floor at lower left.
