Close view of a puja offering on a gold tray: a figure in orange robes wears a long garland of red roses, pink flowers, yellow marigolds and greenery. Silver bowls hold orange and yellow flower petals, sweet paste and liquid, and pale hands reach toward the offerings. Small gold cups and a gold base stand among rose petals on the golden surface. The scene suggests a devotional ritual offering with flowers, sweets and vessels, though no ceremony name is clearly visible.
