Close photo of a ritual at Adi Kailasa: a person in red robes and a lace-trimmed red shawl, with rudraksha beads on the wrist, holds a flat wooden spatula with a pale paste and spreads it on a dark rectangular block. In the foreground a silver-engraved kalasha-style vessel with a finial stands beside a stone mortar holding red-orange paste. Silver ritual objects appear at the left edge. No faces are visible, so the person's identity cannot be determined from the image.
