Close-up photo of a row of brass puja setups laid out on orange and woven mats along a floor. Brass plates hold red rose petals and whole roses, a brass cup holds spoons, a white conch shell sits on a stand, and small lit oil lamps flicker in several places. Blurred figures in white and orange are visible at the far right edge, but no full person is clearly in focus. The setup suggests a pada puja offering arrangement.
