Close-up photograph of a bare hand held open, palm up, showing a small coiled multicolour thread or charm and a tiny gold bead. The wrist wears layered rudraksha beads, a maroon bead strand and gold-coloured ball bracelets. Behind it is an ornate gold throne with rounded gold finials, and the hand rests near a plush red velvet cushion with an orange-brown fabric edge. The setting suggests a ritual or darshan seat. No face is visible.
