A square polished granite slab set into a concrete-lined pit on bare earth, decorated with flower petals. Pink and magenta rose petals line the top and bottom edges, orange-red petals form a U-shaped outline, and white jasmine-style flowers are laid in a vertical line in the centre. Scattered yellow petals and turmeric-like specks lie on the stone. No people or deity murti are visible; the arrangement appears to be a floral offering on a memorial or samadhi-style stone.
