Another person's hand reaches in from the lower left, and a brass lamp stands at the right edge.2017-05-24May 24 20172017-05-24April 22 20132013-04-22Close view of a ritual offering arrangement: rows of ornate silver bowls and small silver vessels with engraved patterns sit on a brass tray beside pink, red and white flower petals.

Many small silver bowls and cups hold white and red flower petals, red berries or seeds and white offerings, with a silver spoon resting in one vessel. A worshipper's bare arm and hand, wearing gold bangles, reaches toward the tray. At the left edge, a person in an orange-saffron garment with a bare foot sits beside the arrangement, and a bright red flower is visible. The scene suggests a puja offering set-up. Gold-coloured tray and engraved silver vessels fill the frame.2013-03-06November 05 20102010-11-05Close-up photograph of a ritual arrangement on a tray filled with many small silver bowls and a silver vessel. Red and pink flowers, rose petals and green leaves are heaped in the centre, with an orange-yellow paste in one bowl. A hand with tattoos is pouring or lifting from a silver cup, and a rudraksha-style bead mala lies among the offerings. No faces are visible and no physical person other than the hand is shown, consistent with a puja or abhishekam offering preparation.2013-06-27June 27 20132013-06-27
