Indoor ritual scene in a temple room with a large seated deity murti draped in marigold garlands and a white cloth on the left, and a pink-draped altar with brass lamps, flowers and small figurines in front. A bare-chested man with a rudraksha mala and white dhoti sits cross-legged at the altar, hands together over offerings, while a man in a green patterned kurta leans in to hold his hands. A woman in a red sari sits behind the altar, with a child beside her. A tall brass oil lamp stands at right and a shelf of ornaments is visible on the wall.
