Dozens of small brass bowls are arranged in tiered heaps on a white cloth in front of a gold-coloured shrine. The bowls hold mixed savoury snacks, including golden fried grains, thin twisted fried noodles, and green leafy garnish, along with white rice-like grains and a few round sweets. A red cloth hangs in the background. No people are visible, so this appears to be a food offering or annadan display rather than a ritual with participants.
