A woman in a red sari sits cross-legged on a red-and-cream cloth in a gold-toned temple hall, palms pressed together in prayer before a seated figure. The seated figure, a statue on a gilded throne with an arched backrest, wears a red turban, red garment, white flower garland and beaded necklaces, with a raised hand in blessing. A golden kalasha-topped tiered canopy stands above the throne, a small white cow figure sits at its base, and brass lamps, a leaf-plate of flowers and a puja tray with offerings lie in front. A dark green deity statue stands at the right near the doorway.
