A close photograph of a ritual setup on an orange-red cloth. A hand holds a white conch shell pouring liquid over a small wooden box with a hinged lid, open to show brass ritual items: a brass bowl holding a pink flower and green leaves, small brass figurines, a brass cup with a spoon, and a small brass bell. Nearby are a brass plate of white rice or grain, small brass bowls with yellow powder, pink flowers, green leaves, and a pair of black and orange sandals at the top of the frame. The hand bears a tattoo on the wrist. No people are fully visible beyond the hand and forearm.
