A close view of a ritual puja arrangement on a polished brass tray. Many ornate silver bowls and small silver vessels hold pink, red, yellow and white flower petals, and a larger silver kalasha-like vessel with a silver spout stands among them. A garland of green leaves, red and yellow flowers frames the central offering. A hand in a gold-bordered maroon garment reaches toward the bowls at the left edge, and small dishes of orange-yellow liquid or powder sit among the petals. No people are fully visible beyond the hand and sleeve.
