Close photo of a ritual setup on a golden tray. A bare foot of a person wearing orange robes rests at the right edge beside silver and gold bowls. Yellow marigold flowers fill small silver cups, and two ornate brass kalasha-like finials sit among the petals. Polished silver plates with scalloped rims surround the arrangement. The person's face and upper body are not visible, so no identification is made.
