Overhead photo of a flat cloth-covered surface with two painted decorative motifs. Upper left is a symmetrical damaru-like hourglass drum shape in brown with gold-outlined curled scroll patterns along a central stem. Lower centre is a large black Om symbol with gold edging and a small gold dot. A carved wooden frame with floral pattern runs along the left edge, and a blue panel sits at the top left. No people are visible, only a partial hand at the lower left edge holding a glass jar. The motifs appear to be handmade stencil or painted craft pieces prepared for festival decoration.
