Close-up of a padapuja-style ritual with several pairs of hands offering flowers over bare feet. Pink carnations, red roses and marigold-like petals are scattered across a tray, with rudraksha beads visible among the blooms. Many polished silver bowls and a silver vessel surround the scene, one holding orange vermilion-coloured paste. A pale red-and-gold cloth edges the left side, and a bangled wrist and tattooed hand appear at right. No face is visible and no one is identified.
