A deity murti seated on a silver tray is dressed in a white silk cloth with a gold zari border and a gold-and-maroon brocade shawl draped over the shoulders, with a gold necklace across the chest. Many red rose petals are scattered over the cloth, tray and surroundings. Behind the figure are ornate gold repoussé metal panels and a second dressed figure at the right edge wearing a red and gold brocade skirt. No people are visible; the scene suggests a temple ritual such as suprapatam seva or alankaram.
