Close-up photograph of a person's arm and open hand, dusted with fine white powder, reaching toward a carved stone pillar with ornate relief figures at left. The forearm is bare and the sleeve of a red garment is visible at the right edge. A blurred green background and a second figure in white and red are out of focus behind. The powder suggests sacred ash or kumkum-type ritual material; no face is visible and no identifiable person is shown.2009-06-09June 09 20092009-06-09June 02 20122012-06-02Close photograph of a hand held palm-up, dusted with fine white powder.
