On the left, a small oil lamp burns on a stone base beside a brass plate, and bowls of grains, herbs and red petals sit nearby. A small plastic bottle stands at lower right. No a person is visible.2013-09-16Close-up photo of two pairs of hands hovering palms-down over a grey granite slab with a dark circular patch at its centre.
