A close photograph of a ritual offering arranged on a white-draped table outdoors. Large heaps of yellow marigold-type flowers, red celosia-style blooms and white flowers are bundled with green leaves and tied with a dry straw band. Silver bowls and a plate sit beside them, a peach-coloured fruit is at the left edge, and a lit oil lamp is visible at the top. A person in an orange garment stands at the right edge, partly cropped. No face of any person is clearly visible, so no identifiable a person appearance is shown.
