A photograph of a ritual offering arrangement on a pink velvet cloth. Many betel-style green leaves hold flower petals in yellow, orange, red and pink, with dried brown nuts or seeds placed on top. Each leaf rests on a small square of coloured cloth in orange, black, blue, red, green and white, arranged in rows as for a puja. Fresh roses, marigold-type blooms and red carnations lie along the front edge. A woven striped textile hangs across the top and a brass bowl of petals sits at the left. No people are visible.
