A photograph of a woman in orange saffron robes with a dark rudraksha mala around her neck, leaning forward and touching a golden-yellow deity murti. Three turmeric-coated murtis stand on a stone pedestal: a tall central deity holding objects in raised hands with a crown and sash, flanked by two smaller female figures in crowns and draped shawls. Yellow turmeric paste and petals cover the murtis and the base. Stone steps and a red wall appear behind. The scene suggests a ritual anointing at a temple.
