A metal deity murti stands on a carved wooden table beside a fire, dressed in a green sari with a gold border and draped with white pearl and pink-stone garlands and a jewelled necklace. Beside it a folded red cloth is decorated with a silver-and-blue stone collar. At the top left a blurred hand holds a long wooden ladle or spoon above the flames, and small brass bells hang from the table's edge. Foreground fire suggests a homa or yagna offering. No physical people are clearly visible beyond the blurred hand and a partially visible figure.
