Three women sit on the floor in prayer during a small puja in a room with yellow walls. The woman at left wears a mint-green sari and presses her palms together with eyes lowered. The centre woman wears a white top with a purple shawl and sits cross-legged with palms joined and eyes closed. The woman at right wears a cream sari with a red border and red blouse, holding a small book, with eyes closed. Brass vessels, a kalasha-style brass pot, yellow and orange marigold flowers, fruit, bananas and a green cloth form the puja setup on the floor. Three framed images hang on the wall: a small portrait of a bearded saffron-robed man, a framed photo of a deity murti with a figure in red, and a large print of a man in saffron-coloured clothing holding a trident.
