A woman in a dark red sari lights an oil lamp before a golden shrine with a black lingam-like stone on a pedestal. Around her, a group of women and girls sit cross-legged on a white tiled floor with hands joined in prayer; several wear pink, blue and orange saris. Behind the shrine, framed photographs cover the walls and a seated figure on a red-cushioned golden throne wears a red turban, a garland and beaded necklaces, with a white bull figure at the foot of the throne. Brass pots, plates and offering dishes are set on the floor in front of the shrine.
