In the foreground, a man's bare arm reaches toward a brass plate heaped with red rose petals and yellow marigold flowers, with a green leaf, grass sprig and a halved yellow fruit on top. A brass lamp stand with lit wicks stands behind the plate, and a dried coconut lies beside it. A copper pot with liquid sits on the floor, with turmeric powder scattered around. A seated priest in orange-saffron dhoti with red-bordered cloth and gold armlet kneels at right, and another orange-robed figure's bare feet are visible at top.

Flower petals in pink, yellow and red, along with coloured powder patterns in maroon, gold and black, decorate the cloth, and loose petals and yellow marigold heads scatter the dark floor. A devotee seated cross-legged in a white dhoti with a red-and-gold border and a wristwatch is visible at the top, and a brass pot with flowers stands at the left. The setting suggests a puja or abhishekam offering; no clear face or a person identification is visible.2018-01-05Close-up photo of a puja setup on a red cloth with a gold zari border.
