A photograph of ornate gold-rimmed brass trays arranged in rows on a bright blue silk cloth and a magenta silk cloth with gold border, set on a carpeted floor. The trays hold heaps of different grains, pulses and seeds in varied colours, including beige, cream, pale brown, dark brown and reddish-orange piles. A small cluster of white roses sits at the upper right of the magenta cloth. No people are visible; the scene looks like a prepared ritual offering display of grains for a puja.
