A close-up of a temple shrine set for worship: two tall brass oil lamps with peacock-shaped tops stand lit with multiple flames, flanked by gold-bordered draping and a red and pink fabric canopy above. Between them sits a small brass figurine pair. In the foreground a silver tray holds a heap of yellow and white rose petals in several small metal bowls, with loose petals scattered on the dark surface. No people are visible.
