A photograph of a ritual setup in front of a gold-and-red brocade backdrop. A brass kalasha-style pot with a mango-leaf bundle and a coconut-fibre tuft sits on a stone base before fire-pit bricks marked with white geometric ritual designs. Behind it, a teal silk cloth with gold zari borders drapes a raised seat holding a silver-and-gold necklace and a metal tray of white and red flowers. Small brass vessels and a yellow-filled bowl lie at the edges. No people are visible, and no a person depiction is present.
