A photograph of a ritual offering arranged on silver and gold trays. A large silver tray with scalloped edges holds two red apples, a silver bowl of thinly sliced white and green vegetable pieces, a small silver cup on a stem, a silver ewer with a white cloth wrapped around its handle, and a green leaf. Engraved silver bowls sit on the gold-embossed tray beneath. Behind, white flower petals and green leaves lie on a golden plate, with more silver bowls holding sliced vegetables and another red apple at the upper right. A partial hand is visible at the left edge and another at the right edge. The setting suggests a puja offering of fruit and food on silver vessels.
