A brass thali heaped with white jasmine-like flowers, red roses, orange and pink petals and a single green leaf sits on a magenta cloth with gold embroidery. Beside it are a brass oil lamp, a small brass cup with a ladle, a white conch shell, a brass bowl of turmeric-coloured powder and a second brass plate. Scattered orange and pink flowers lie on the floor at right. Behind the thali stands a small framed printed photograph of a seated figure in orange robes with a long-haired head, wearing a beaded necklace, in a tree-lined setting. No people are visible in the scene; this is a puja arrangement.
