A photograph taken from behind a long-haired figure with dark, thick, braided locks who is throwing white flower petals or blossoms toward a small shrine inside a yellow-painted structure. The figure wears a red-brown wrap and a red bracelet on the raised arm. The shrine opening has a metal grille gate, with a framed image on the inner wall and a small dark object with flowers on the floor. To the left, several people in saffron-orange robes and a white-clad figure stand in a courtyard under trees, one holding a small cloth bag and another a garland. The scene suggests a puja offering of flowers at a shrine.
