Two forearms reach forward from the right, one hand palm-down on the stone ledge beside the tray, with a small tattoo on the wrist. Behind them, a person in an orange-red garment and another in magenta clothing with rudraksha-style beads stand with hands joined at the stone rail; brass bowls sit on the ledge. Appears to be a temple or puja ritual setting.
