Close photo of a seated person in orange and rust-coloured cloth performing a ritual. The hands, wearing gold bangles, hold a small brass spoon over a brass tray set with white flowers, a brass cup, a conch shell and a small brass lamp. A rudraksha mala hangs at the top of the frame. The person's face is not visible, so the appearance-based identity is uncertain.
