A photograph of a ritual offering: a woven bamboo basket filled with red, orange and yellow flowers and white blossoms, wrapped with purple and red garlands. A person in an orange-brown blouse with gold-trimmed sleeves holds a small silver incense or offering vessel from which a thin incense stick sends up smoke. Gold bangles are visible on the wrist. Only the hands and arm of the person are visible at the right edge; a partially visible figure in orange clothing sits at the left edge. The background is dark with a red and patterned floor covering.
