A red-bordered fabric runs across the top, a pink hibiscus blossom lies at upper center, and a green plastic item sits at lower left. In the upper-right inset, a woman in a white and red-bordered sari sits beside a similar pair of sandals on a tray. The scene suggests a ritual offering of padukas with flowers.
