A photograph of a devotional flower-offering scene in an indoor hall. Several people in white traditional clothes stand around a seated figure on a golden peetha throne backed by a large floral arch of yellow, red, purple and white garlands. Two people in front hold woven baskets of marigold petals and tip them over the throne and onto the red-and-gold carpet. A man in a white dhoti and shirt pours petals from a basket at the centre. A tall brass lamp stands at right beside a gold-and-red chair, and a pink-turbaned seated figure wears a garland and beaded necklaces. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with a person candidate, though not conclusive from the image alone.
