A photo of several people in white ritual clothing preparing offerings at a steel counter. Three men wear white dhoti-style garments and rudraksha malas; the central man has a white cloth wrap and a gold bangle. Their hands are arranging fresh green leaves and herbs on a wooden tray beside dried leaf bowls. Other leaf bowls rest on a metal tray at right. Hands of additional people are visible at the edges. Four people are partially visible, so the count is in the 2-5 range.
