Close photo of a devotee's hand, wearing a gold bangle, placing a yellow flower petal at the base of an orange-robed statue's foot. The statue wears flowing saffron cloth and has gold-toned hands; it stands on a silver-rimmed pedestal set on an ornate gold-coloured altar with floral relief carvings and scattered petals and red flowers. Behind it is a red and gold tiered base. The setting suggests a temple puja or padapuja offering to a murti. No face or full body of a physical person is visible.
