A photograph of an empty room with a floor of speckled grey stone. A low wooden table draped with an orange satin cloth stands against the wall, bearing a brass oil lamp, a small framed picture, a pink lotus, and white and blue ceramic elephant figurines. On the floor in front is a puja arrangement: a brass plate with flowers, a brass kalasha-style vessel, brass lamps, a small brass bell, bowls of kumkum and offerings, and a tray with an orange cloth and a braided mat. Jars and a small wooden tray lie to the left. No people are visible.
