A woman with her hair in a bun, wearing a rust-orange blouse and a gold necklace, stands with palms pressed together in namaskar before a large clay deity murti under a tin-roofed open shelter. The murti shows a multi-armed goddess with white lace-like decorations, long black hair and a crown, holding weapons and flanked by a lion, a Ganesha figure, a figure in green and a figure with a veena. A ring-shaped metal frame stands to the left and bare trees and a red wall are in the background. No a person candidate is visible.
