Close view of a ritual worship arrangement on a gold-toned floor. Bare feet and the lower legs of a person in a maroon garment with a wide gold border stand at the top left. Around them are many polished silver bowls and trays holding red, orange, yellow and pink flower petals, a yellow-orange liquid, and silver spouted vessels with white conical tops decorated with green leaves. A central tray is heaped with yellow and pink flowers. The scene suggests a puja or abhishekam offering setup; a second person in white is partly visible at the top.
