A close photograph of a bare hand holding a small silver cup containing pink flower petals, green leaves and two upright incense sticks, with smoke rising from them. The wrist wears a gold-toned bangle and a tattoo is visible on the back of the hand. Behind it a yellow and blue patterned mat or cloth lies over a stone surface, with garlands of red and white flowers at the left edge and a brass ritual vessel at the bottom. The scene suggests an offering or puja setting. The hand and arm are the only human body parts visible, so no full person can be counted.2018-04-20 +1 copiesClose photo of a hand holding a small brass cup filled with red and pink flower petals and two dark incense sticks, tilting it over a brass oil lamp on a golden-yellow cloth.
