Close photo of a ritual on a gold tray: a pair of bare feet in orange-bordered robes rests on scattered white plumeria and orange and pink flower petals. Around them are polished silver bowls filled with saffron-yellow liquid and red kumkum, and silver lamps whose flames are lit. A hand with a tattoo holds one lamp in the foreground. Looks like a padapuja or aarti offering.
