Two round stainless steel thalis photographed on a wooden table, each with a ring of small steel katoris holding rice dishes in varied colours: green herbed rice, orange carrot rice, yellow turmeric rice, white plain rice and mixed vegetable rice. A small steel bowl sits at the centre of each plate, and a few pink rose petals are scattered among the dishes. This appears to be a food offering arranged for a naivedyam, with no people visible.
