A flower-offering scene in a temple-like hall. A seated figure in a pink and gold turban and draped garland sits before a large arch of marigold and red-and-purple flower garlands, with petals heaped on the floor. Two women in white saris pour flowers from woven baskets toward the seated figure, while a man in a white kurta and white dhoti reaches in to help. A brass oil lamp stands at left, and a golden ornament is visible at right. Only three to four people are visible in the foreground, with partial figures at the edges. The seated figure's identity is not established by the image itself, so no candidate is named.
