Close-up photograph of a puja offering being made. A person in an orange garment on the left has white and brown ash-like stripes painted across the forearm. Their hand holds a small silver bowl while another hand pours or offers from a silver vessel. Silver plates hold pink flower petals, sliced white and green items, and small silver objects. Gold-coloured surfaces and a blurred hand in the foreground suggest a temple setting. The hands are the main visible subjects.
