Close view of a ritual preparation table draped with a purple cloth with red and yellow stripes. A hand wearing a rudraksha bracelet pours liquid from a white vessel onto a small dark shivalingam set in a grey stone bowl. Fresh green leaves and sprigs lie scattered across the cloth and in a wooden tray, and yellow turmeric powder dusts the table. Small dark clay lamps are visible at the upper right, along with a brass cup and a metal tray. The scene suggests herbal preparation during a puja, with no clearly visible face.
