Photograph of a shrine puja arrangement with lit oil lamps in the foreground. A copper-coloured sri yantra meru stands centrally on a wooden platform, flanked by two copper-coloured standing figures, one holding a staff-like object. Small brass plates hold offerings including a lime and a kumkum-marked item, and a small oil lamp burns at the front. Behind, a dark-faced deity murti with a silver crown, garland and orange dhoti stands between two female murtis in magenta dresses and silver crowns, set within a gold arched frame against orange drapery. Small figures stand at the base. No people are visible; the shrine is blurred. Ritual context suggests a lamp worship setting, but no event is legible.
