A close view of a fire pit during a ritual offering. A bare forearm with a metal bangle reaches in from the upper left, tipping a round metal plate or tray that scatters yellow flowers and sparks into a fire of logs. Yellow marigold petals and orange blossoms lie on the burning wood, and white smoke rises. Blurred white pillars and out-of-focus figures in white stand in the background. Yellow-painted stone edging runs along the bottom of the frame.
