One hand holds a small brass bowl containing white cooked rice mixed with dark seeds and a little yellow powder, while the other hand, with gold bangles on the wrist, lifts a brass spoon into it.

A hand holds a small brass spoon over a brass plate filled with red rose petals and a green leaf. Nearby stand another brass bowl with petals, a white conch shell and a small brass oil lamp at the upper right.

A person's hand, wearing a red and gold thread bangle, reaches into the tray to arrange the flowers. Rudraksha beads are visible on the wrist and chest of the blurred person beside, dressed in red and white. The scene suggests a ritual offering of flowers and aarti items.2018-01-01
