Close photo of a ritual offering being prepared. A person in orange saffron clothing, with a metal bangle on the wrist, pours liquid from a small brass spoon onto a brass plate. The plate holds a white cloth-wrapped item, green grass blades, a red flower and a small pile of kumkum. A brass tumbler stands to the left, a lit brass oil lamp burns on the right, and an incense stick sends up curling smoke. A glossy floor and a blurred background complete the scene, with no other people visible.
