A woman in white clothes with a red shawl places a white cloth bag of offerings at the base of a large golden-and-black statue of a seated sage holding a staff. The figure wears a red-brown dhoti, a red turban, a heavy gold and bead necklace and gold armlets. The statue is framed by a garland arch of yellow marigolds, red roses and white flowers, with a purple cloth behind and leafy trees around. Many small white and lilac bundles sit on the ornate golden pedestal, which stands on a red rock base. This is a deity or guru murti being offered bhiksha, with no a person candidate identifiable as a living person in the scene.
