In the foreground, a person's hand wearing a thick, multi-strand rudraksha bracelet with gold beads and a blue-and-purple thread holds a small red-orange cloth bundle tied with string. Another hand with a silver bangle reaches in from the upper left, and a red-orange garment sleeve and fabric fill the frame. The dark wooden surface of a chair arm is visible at the right.
