A close photo of a woman's hands, cupped palms dusted with white powder. She wears a gold bangle and a light lavender embroidered sleeve. On the table lie an orange cylindrical block with green leaves, two small round orange-brown pieces, a black cloth, a sandalwood-coloured strip, a dark rudraksha mala, and a red and gold silk cloth. A framed photo at the right shows a figure in orange robes with pearl necklaces, but no identifiable face is visible. The scene suggests a ritual preparation or offering setup.

Close view of two cupped hands held out over a ritual arrangement. The hands, with gold bangles on the wrist, hold white powder. Behind them sit two dark black stone lingams with orange-banded bases and a green leaf on the upper one, set on a red and gold silk cloth with a black rudraksha mala and beaded necklaces. A small framed picture of a deity with pearl garlands leans against the top. The scene suggests a puja or abhishekam offering, though no people beyond the hands are visible.
