A close photograph of a Sri Vidya puja offering. A hand, with a white sleeve at the bottom edge, pours a stream of liquid from a small brass vessel into a large gold-toned brass thali filled with a golden liquid and scattered pink flower petals.

Behind it, a red cloth covers the altar, with a brass kalasha-style lamp on the left and a framed gold Sri Yantra on a stand at right, its triangular geometry in green, red and gold, with Sanskrit text reading 'श्री यन्त्रम्' along the top. Purple flowers and a brass plate with offerings sit in the background against a dark backdrop.
