A person seen from behind in a sleeveless orange top and orange skirt, long dark hair falling down the back, holds a brass oil lamp with a lit flame toward a deity murti. The murti wears a silver-toned crown-like headdress, a trident, and a jeweled hand with a bejeweled mudra, and is draped in a pink-and-purple garment. Yellow, purple, white and red flower garlands hang in tiers beside it, and a bouquet of purple flowers lies in the foreground. The setting appears to be a festival puja with a golden backdrop behind the altar.
