Close-up photograph of two large silver plates heaped with dried red chilies, placed on a striped woven cloth with yellow and purple patterns. In the blurred background, several women in orange, red and yellow saris sit in a row near a microphone stand, apparently part of a seated ritual gathering. The chilies are the sharp focus of the image, with the people softly out of focus behind them.
