Close-up photograph of two open palms held upward, showing small red-orange kumkum or vibhuti marks scattered across the palm creases. The wrists wear dark red beaded bracelets with silver-toned clasps, and thin gold bangles and rings are visible on the fingers. A red, orange and yellow patterned sari or fabric is visible at the lower right, with a yellow-green patterned mat in the background. The hands appear to be a devotee receiving sacred powder, a practice referenced in the page. No face is visible.
