Close-up photograph of a gold-toned triangular yantra or pyramidal sacred object standing on a shiny silver-and-gold textile, wrapped with red, green, yellow and black threads in a crisscross pattern. Three gold-coloured rectangular blocks form its base beneath the triangle, and a small brass or gold cylindrical fitting sits at the lower front. Behind it, a blurred red background shows gold ornamental boxes and a reddish-brown patterned object. No people are visible, and the shallow focus emphasises the threaded metal object as a ritual item.
