A photograph of a ritual table draped in red cloth on a paved courtyard. A silver oil lamp stands tall at center, beside a bowl of rose petals and flower petals, a silver bell with a handle, a small gold cup holding white material, a silver tray with a folded white cloth and a gold-bordered towel beneath it. A silver dish holds white substance on a small plate. A partly visible figure in orange robes stands in the background near white-and-red striped steps. No clearly identifiable person is seated at the table, and the foreground objects are the focus.
