A woman in a royal blue blouse and a cream-and-gold sari leans over two long steel trays filled with white rice and draped with red cloth. She pours or sprinkles grain from a small steel cup onto dark stone deity murti set in the rice, including a standing figure and a squared stone base, in what appears to be a ritual arrangement. Another woman with dark hair and bangles, partly visible behind her, stands in a yellow-walled room with brick-patterned trim. A second tray on the right holds more dark stone figures in the rice.
