A top-down photograph of a large round stainless steel tray holding a ring of small brass bowls filled with various rice preparations, including white rice, yellow turmeric rice, green herb rice, and brown spiced rice with curry leaves. Pink rose petals are scattered over several bowls and the tray. A small brass cup sits at the centre of the tray, with a single rose petal floating in it. The tray rests on a maroon and gold brocade cloth. No people are visible; this appears to be an offering of food arranged for a ritual.
