A multi-panel collage: on the left, a photograph of a deity murti group in gold and orange silk with garlands and a lit ghee lamp, a bowl of curd rice beside it. On the right, a Zoom-style grid of video-call squares showing participants joined virtually. A woman in a red bindi presses palms together beside the altar; another woman in a white top with a folded-palm gesture sits near a large orange paper rose; a woman in a blue top, an older woman in a dark top with folded hands, a woman holding an orange rose with a child, and a woman in grey and orange appear in other squares. The panels show a Puratasi offering with ghee lamp and curd rice, shown through video participants rather than a physical gathering.
