Close-up photograph of hands performing a ritual over silver and gold trays. Several people's hands, one wearing gold bangles and a rudraksha bracelet, one in an orange saffron garment at left, pour liquid from silver vessels over pink lotus flowers. Trays hold white flower petals, small gold pots and a sliced fruit, and a lotus is set in the foreground. The scene suggests an abhishekam or puja offering. Only hands and forearms are visible, so the people's count is limited, and no face or identity can be confirmed, so the a person field is unsure.
