Close-up of a hand in a red and black beaded wristband reaching over a brass puja tray set on a purple leaf-patterned cloth. The tray holds a brass vessel, a small brass oil lamp with a lit flame, a brass bell-handled stand, incense sticks and a dish of rose petals. Blurred background shows more ritual objects and a small brass deity murti. No one else is visible; the scene is a worship setup.
