A woman in an orange and pink saree sits cross-legged on a mat, hands pressed together in namaste, eyes closed in prayer before a shrine. Behind her stand decorated deity murtis draped in orange and red fabric, with a saffron banner reading "Jai Shri Ram" showing an image of Lord Rama. Before the shrine lie offerings on tiered brass trays: plates of apples, oranges, kiwis, grapes and other fruit, bowls of sweets, rose petals in a steel bowl, a brass oil lamp, a kalasha and a brass bell. A gold repousse backdrop frames a small image of a figure in a turban. The setting is a tiled room with orange drapes and a green-and-blue patterned rug.
