Close overhead view of a polished brass plate holding a pair of small gold-toned sandal-shaped paduka figures set with red stones. Two round coins stamped with a lion-capital emblem rest on the paduka, and a single white flower, possibly jasmine, lies on top. Red rose petals are scattered around them, and water droplets glisten on the petals. The plate sits on a silver embossed cloth with floral patterns, with a brass oil lamp base and a brass vessel at the edges. No people are visible.
