A photograph of a stainless steel table set with many small bowls of ritual offerings against a plain white wall. The bowls are in red, teal, blue and orange plastic and contain halved coconuts, yellow bananas or fruit pieces, betel leaves, turmeric and kumkum powder, and small sweets. A string of white and pink flower garlands lies in the middle. Folded silk saris in pink, orange and purple sit at the left end of the table. No people are visible. The setting suggests preparations for a puja offering, with a small fabric-covered sign partly visible at the far left.
