A photograph of an empty indoor room with a dark speckled floor and a doorway with light at the upper right. Along the back wall stands a wooden table draped in an orange cloth, holding a brass oil lamp, a framed picture, small figurines of elephants and deities, and a pink lotus flower. On the floor in front of the table sits a ritual arrangement on an orange cloth: a brass plate with pink flowers, a silver plate with offerings, small bowls with red powder and white items, brass lamps, a small bell-shaped vessel and a tray of items. No people are visible.
