A silver lotus-edged puja tray on a gold and red brocade cloth holds white jasmine flowers, green bilva leaves, and three small metal bowls containing orange paste, red kumkum powder, and yellow turmeric. Another silver plate with more green leaves sits at the right edge. No people or deity murti are visible; the arrangement reads as puja offerings prepared for worship.
