A still-life photo of a worship setup on a black stone altar. Two tall polished brass oil lamps with flickering flames stand on a round silver tray scattered with pink and yellow petals, with a ripe banana and a small kumkum-coloured offering. A small brass deity murti pair sits on a wooden stand behind, and a silver bowl holds more petals. At left, a small figure of a seated saffron-clad sannyasi with a turban, rudraksha mala and gold necklaces sits among rose petals; as a printed or statue depiction it is not a physical person. No people are present, so this is a vilakku puja lamp worship arrangement.
