Its rim is dusted with turmeric-yellow powder and decorated with marigold petals, rose petals and grass stems, indicating a homa or yagna. Brass and silver ritual vessels surround it, including a bowl of liquid, a brass bell, a small silver lamp stand, a silver tray of pink flower petals and a kalasha-style pot. Two people in saffron-orange robes sit at the edges, one with rudraksha beads and white ash marks, while their hands hold ritual items. Only partial arms and clothing are visible, so the people count is limited to those shown.2018-04-15
