On the left, a pink cloth holds gold-rimmed metal trays containing green herbs, white grains, brown seeds, dried dates, a blue packet and a cluster of pink and white roses. On the right, a blue cloth holds about a dozen ornate gold-edged trays filled with pulses, grains and seeds in yellow, orange, cream and brown tones. No people are visible; the arrangement appears to be prepared offerings such as naivedyam.
