A photograph of a ritual table set for puja with no people visible. In the centre, a shiva lingam-style form wrapped with a golden hooded serpent (naga) and garlanded with yellow marigolds sits between two dressed deity murtis in orange and red silk; a standing figure in ornate red garments and gold jewellery stands on the left. A large brass plate holds yellow flowers, green leaves and offerings including kumkum and fruit, with a brass bell and a small oil lamp burning in the foreground. A brass tray with a lit lamp, flowers and bowls of dark sacred balls sits to the right. Behind, a maroon velvet cloth with gold embroidery covers an altar.
