A photograph of a coconut wrapped with gold ornaments and tied with yellow thread, resting on a silver tray filled with red and pink rose petals. Gold chains, bead strands and a pointed gold pendant lie across the coconut. A woven basket of petals and marigolds sits in the upper background, and a maroon sari with gold border is visible at the right edge. No people are visible. The setting suggests a ritual decoration for a temple ceremony.
