A bare-skinned person's hand, adorned with a gold bangle and a beaded bracelet, pours liquid from a silver-gold conch-shaped vessel with a spout, and a thin stream falls toward a silver bowl. The person wears a pink and white flower garland across the shoulder and a gold waist ornament. In the foreground, a gold-coloured cloth is blurred. On the silver tray stand a small brass deity figure, a standing female form, a lamp with a curved arm and shade, and red flowers. The background is a dark red curtain and a white panel. The image shows only one physical person, partially visible.2013-05-27Close-up photo of a puja offering being prepared.

Behind, red cloth hangs in folds. Only partial arms of one person are visible, so the ritual participant is not identifiable and no face appears.
