Close-up photo of a hand holding up a dry brown leaf, with a small tattoo of a trident-like emblem on the back of the hand and gold bangles on the wrist. Behind it, blurred figures in red and purple saris sit on the floor, some with hands in their laps. In the left foreground are small gold-toned figurines or deity murtis on a wooden stand, with a white-clad person's knee visible at the lower right. The scene suggests a ritual gathering, but the people are out of focus and no faces are visible.
