A photograph of ritual preparations on a floor beside a low concrete step. Two large heaps of white and red flower garlands lie in the foreground, with yellow marigold garlands draped along the step's edge. Behind them on a woven mat are silver bowls of yellow turmeric or powder, small metal cups filled with yellow flowers, a silver vessel, and a stack of oranges in a steel dish. At the upper right, a figure in white and red cloth is partly visible, with a red and yellow garland resting near it. No clear faces are shown. The setting resembles a puja or ceremonial offering arrangement.
