A man in a white dhoti with an orange-gold shawl, glasses and short hair leans forward with hands held out. A smiling figure in orange-saffron turban, bare-shouldered orange wrap and a long rudraksha-style mala holds a wicker basket of yellow and orange flowers toward him. Another robed person in orange stands behind, and a silver puja tray sits on a low table nearby.
