In the foreground, a woman in a red blouse and another in a yellow-bordered cream sari with a mala reach toward a large silver tray holding flowers, fruit, bowls and a small silver vessel. A man in white with a mala leans in at the right, and a woman in a white sari with gold border and a mala sits with hands pressed together at the upper right. Further figures in white and yellow sit behind.

A man in a white dhoti with a white shoulder cloth and a red-and-gold saffron shawl stands bare-chested with rudraksha malas, handling the offerings. Nearby, a man in an orange-and-red turban and rudraksha beads leans over the tray, while a woman in an orange-striped sari and a garland of yellow marigolds and red flowers with green leaves stands at right. Several other turbaned men and women in orange and red dress press in around the offerings, some with white and red forehead markings. The setting appears to be an outdoor ritual gathering with a metal railing and flower decorations in the background.2015-01-13
