Close photo of a ritual scene: a pair of hands holds a small brass spoon over a white cloth, while another hand grips the cloth's edge. A lit oil lamp flame glows in the background beside a brass oil lamp, and a brass bowl sits on a rust-red cloth with a white cloth-wrapped conch shell. A blurred bare shoulder and dark cord are at the right edge. The setting suggests a puja or abhishekam preparation, with no face of any person visible.
