Close overhead view of a ritual altar on a striped red, blue and yellow woven cloth. A silver kalasha pot with a yellow coconut on top is wrapped in a thick garland of red and orange flowers with yellow marigold strands. Beside it stands a tall brass oil lamp with a lit flame, a brass vessel holding betel nuts and dried fruit, and a silver plate with two small lit oil lamps. A folded red cloth lies at right and a silver plate is visible at the bottom edge. No people are visible; the scene is an offering arrangement.
