A photograph of a festival offering laid out on a wooden floor before a golden deity murti, with the figure's golden feet visible at the top. Dozens of stainless steel bowls hold colourful cooked foods such as rice dishes, sweets and sauces, surrounded by apples, oranges, pomegranates, pineapple, bananas and mango. Garlands of white jasmine and pink and red flowers drape the deity, and an orange cloth and scattered pink petals cover the platform. No people are visible in the frame.

Red cloth or bundled red material lies at the right edge, and a brass or red-cloth-covered vessel sits at the top.
