A close-up photograph of a ritual altar piece dressed for worship. Pink rose heads and loose pink rose petals cover the centre, with terracotta diyas dusted with red kumkum beside them. Strands of white jasmine buds and orange marigold-type flowers wrap the top of the object. Beneath the petals sits an ornate gold necklace of kundan-style stones and pearl drops, lying on a dark cloth. Orange and brown ridged bands sit behind the flowers. No people are visible.
