A banana leaf holds two coconuts wrapped in pink and red flower garlands, a bundle of orange and gold cloth knotted at the centre, yellow marigold garlands, pink lotus-like blossoms, and scattered rose petals. A brass pot with a red flower sits in the middle, and a silver lamp stand and a steel plate with bowls, a kumkum-coloured dish and flowers appear at the edge.
