The garland is layered with white jasmine strands, red rose petal garlands and yellow marigolds with green leaves. A gold bracelet is visible on the wrist, and a gold pendant with a small deity medallion hangs near the top right. The brown cloth beneath the garlands suggests a ceremonial garment. No face is visible. Only a single hand is visible, so the scene shows one person's hand in a Guru Purnima-style offering context.2013-07-22
