Devotees in white ritual clothes with orange shawls decorate a blue-faced Kali murti standing on a white-draped altar before a blue wall. The murti wears a gold crown, gold-embroidered garment and gold necklaces, and holds a red object and a sword. A man in white stands at left, while two adults in white and orange shawls arrange a red-and-gold cloth and flowers at the base, and two children watch at the lower edge. The setting appears to be a temple-style hall with a small lamp mounted on the wall.
