Close view of hands arranging flowers during a ritual offering. Several hands, including one with a dark-beaded rudraksha bracelet and another with a metal bangle, place yellow, pink and red rose petals onto a large golden tray. Silver and brass bowls and small dishes holding milk or liquid, white offerings and green leaves surround the tray. Only partial forearms and hands are visible, so no full person can be counted. The scene suggests a puja or abhishekam preparation.
