Close view of a seated figure's hands shaping a large conical mound of yellow turmeric or haldi powder on a sandy ground. The person wears dense multi-row rudraksha malas with brown-red beads, a dark maroon garment, and a gold ring on one finger. Pink flowers and green leaves encircle the base of the mound, with scattered red kumkum powder and yellow powder around it. Only hands, arms and torso are visible; no face is shown, so the person's identity cannot be established from the image.
