A photo taken from above and behind shows a devotee with dark hair in a white top holding an orange cloth with a small gold-and-white ornamental piece. On a table draped with yellow and blue striped cloth sit brass plates with white and red flowers, brass oil lamps with lit wicks, a brass bell, a small brass vessel, sandalwood-coloured items, and a framed photograph showing a figure in orange robes. The setting suggests a padapuja or devotional offering arrangement.
