Close photograph of a puja offering in progress. A gold tray holds clear glass bowls of fruit, including two red apples, and pink and white flowers at the left edge. A hand in a red garment with a blue and gold patterned border reaches toward the offerings, while blurred figures in dark clothing and an orange-robed sleeve frame the foreground. A small oil lamp flame glows at the upper left. The shot is shallow-focus, with the people largely out of focus or partly cropped.
