A woman in a red kurta and red trousers, with a long dark braid, bends over while sweeping a polished dark granite floor inside a golden temple structure. Ornately carved golden pillars frame an open porch with trees beyond. Through an arched doorway at right, a deity murti is visible in a shrine, with red curtains drawn to the sides and green leaf decorations above. The floor reflects the pillars and sunlight.
