A large silver bowl filled with a thick, pale-brown paste, its surface dusted with flakes of gold leaf and a dark-brown, pitted section in the centre, rests on an ornate gold-coloured tray. A leopard-print cloth draped over a gold chair stands to the right. In the background, the orange robes of two people are partly visible, one with a hand raised near the bowl, though their faces are not in frame.

To the left, a person in saffron-orange robes with a dark braided cord at the waist and brown beaded bracelets is partly visible, bending forward with hands near the bowl. Gold metal chair legs and a leopard-print fabric are visible at the right edge. The setting suggests a ritual preparation with a sacred paste, though the exact rite is not visible.2017-09-03September 03 20172017-09-03September 03 20172017-09-03Close photograph of a large dark bronze vessel filled with a thick dark brown paste mixed with yellow turmeric powder, with a long brass ladle with a twisted handle resting in it. Behind it are polished silver vessels and a silver lidded container on a patterned pink, teal and purple cloth. No people are visible; the mixture appears to be an Ayurvedic-style preparation being prepared for ritual or medicinal use.2017-12-10 +1 copiesDecember 10 20172017-12-10 +2 copiesDecember 10 20172017-12-10 +1 copiesSeptember 03 20172017-09-03September 03 20172017-09-03September 03 20172017-09-03September 03 20172017-09-03Photo 11708883
