A man in a gold-beige silk kurta with a patterned shawl leans in and places a white flower or offering on the tray among red and orange roses and marigolds. Beside him, a silver platter holds sliced fruit, red petals and a small pot. Gilded ornamentation fills the tray. The orange-clad figure's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, so no a person candidate is asserted.2011-11-05A padapuja-style foot ritual: bare feet in saffron-orange robes with gold trim rest on a gold-embossed ceremonial table.

Pink roses and white flower petals are scattered on the gold plate beside the feet. Gold carved panels and an orange-red floor frame the scene.
