A seated figure in orange-saffron robes, wearing an orange head wrap, a beaded necklace with a large pendant, and bangles, performs a puja on a grassy lawn in front of a block wall and wooden fence. He or she holds a small brass lamp or bell and reaches toward a platter of offerings. Before them lies a red cloth with a garland of white and yellow flowers, a foil tray, brass plates and bowls, and a bunch of bananas with a coconut. Two men in white t-shirts reading "FY09 HEROES IN THE MAKING" sit facing the scene at the left and right edges, and a woman in a yellow-orange garment is partly visible at the far left. Five people are visible in total.
