A photograph of a ritual flower offering in a temple setting. A priest in white dhoti with gold border and a bare chest, wearing a sacred thread, pours a cascade of orange and yellow flower petals from a brass vessel over a seated figure in a deep red-brown robe with gold ornaments and garlands. Pink flower petals rest in the lap and at the base of the figure. Two women stand at right, one in a yellow top and one in an orange-brown sari, one holding red apples or fruit. A brass kalasha-style vessel and a golden deity figure are in the background, with a bell and green plants.
