Close-up photo of a brass handbell with a long handle and a decorative top, standing on an orange cloth on a table. Beside it a cluster of dark black beads with a pink ribbon lies on the cloth, along with a lit incense stick smoking at the right and a brass oil lamp with a flame in the background. A hand wrapped in gold-bordered brown cloth is visible at the far left. The background is blurred with warm lamp light. No people's faces are visible, and the scene suggests a puja setup with a bell, mala beads, incense and lamp.
