Night outdoor puja at a shrine decorated with marigold garlands and a canopy, with a framed deity murti at the centre. Lit oil lamps and a flame flare at the shrine base, and a tray of red offerings sits in front. A person in orange robes stands at the right edge, partly cut off, holding a lamp. On a striped mat in the foreground lie bowls of fruit, including bananas, mangoes and what appear to be gourds, plus a bowl of chopped green vegetables. Tall trees and a dim background surround the scene.

A second man in white dhoti and a red-bordered shawl kneels on the right with palms pressed together in prayer. A third person sits partly visible at the far left edge.
