A child's hand with gold bangles reaches to offer red and white flowers, including frangipani-like white blooms and a pink-and-yellow flower, onto a heap of red, white and yellow petals. A person in an orange and gold sari-border garment stands above, and another person's hand holding petals appears at the upper left. Only the feet, hands and arms are visible, so people are partially visible.
