Close view of a Hindu puja set up on a tiled floor. A person's hand, with a silver bracelet and watch, pours liquid from a small brass spoon over a tall orange-brown carved lingam-like object on a brass plate. Nearby are brass oil lamps, a lit diya, a small figurine of a seated deity in a turban and colourful garment, a banana on a brass plate, a bowl of white offering, a yellow flower, red kumkum, and a plastic water bottle.
