A woman in an orange and gold draped garment with a gold necklace stands at left, facing right and holding a white board decorated with red and multicoloured floral roundels and a printed text sheet. Beside her, on the right, two ornately dressed seated figures appear to be deity murtis or statues: one wears a tall gold crown with red tassels and a red and gold garment with heavy jewellery, the other wears a red and gold cloth with jewelled necklaces. A gold canopy with a red and gold floral emblem hangs above them, and a plate with offerings sits on a low red stand at the bottom right. The setting is an indoor hall with a white draped table in the background.
