A photograph of a large spread of food offerings laid out in rows on a striped cloth over the floor of a temple hall. Dozens of polished brass bowls hold sweets, fruits, puffed grains, banana slices, cooked rice and lentil dishes, several arranged on green leaves. Brass lamp stands and small flower-and-lamp arrangements sit at the top, with a row of painted clay deity murti figures on a platform at the upper left. An orange cloth lies at the right edge beside a woven rag mat. No people are visible, and the scene suggests an annadan-style food offering.
