Close photograph of a ritual offering table outdoors. A brass oil lamp with a curved handle and a burning flame sits on a brass tray. Beside it are a bunch of ripe yellow bananas, a small brass bowl, a silver-toned ceremonial spoon and a small white pile of offering material. Behind the table, out of focus, a person in a dark green sari stands, and a person in white clothing and gold bangles reaches toward the tray. No face of a person is visible; the scene shows an aarti-style lamp and fruit offering arranged for a puja.
