A brass kalasha pot wrapped in white cord with a cross-hatched pattern sits on a brass tray filled with raw rice and scattered yellow marigold flowers. Five mango leaves rise from its mouth. Behind it, orange-red stone temple structures stand under a partly cloudy sky, and a figure in a white dhoti with red-bordered cloth, bent forward and partly out of frame, can be seen on the upper left. A silver dish and small silver vessel rest on the white cloth at the left edge. The scene suggests a kalasha-based ritual setup at a temple.
