A photograph of a ritual altar corner covered in green paint, with brass plates holding fruit and dried wood sticks, dried herbs and cut fibrous bark. Bananas, a pineapple, a coconut-like fruit and a few yellow fruits sit on the plates. A garland of orange-red flowers and a pink string of flowers run along the altar edge. In the background are brass oil lamps, a small lamp with a flame, and woven baskets with leaves. Red brick structure in the background. No people are visible, and the scene appears to be a homa or pyre preparation with offerings.
