Several hands are visible: one pours from a silver vessel with a spout, another places green leaves and white flowers, and a bangled wrist is at the left edge. Red roses, white jasmine-type flowers, green stems and leaves are arranged among small silver bowls and a silver container with intricate engraved patterns. A small brass or gold object sits among the flowers. The setting suggests a puja or padapuja offering. Only partial hands and forearms are visible, so the number of people is limited.2010-10-02November 24 20102010-11-24September 06 20102010-09-06November 24 20102010-11-24November 07 20102010-11-07November 07 20102010-11-07October 03 20102010-10-03Close-up photograph of a ritual abhishekam-style offering on a gold tray.
