A photograph of a ceremonial puja set up before a deep red curtain and a gold-patterned wall, framed by yellow and magenta flower garlands. At centre is a small seated murti decorated with a garland and ornaments, with a red-and-gold headdress, placed on a garland-covered platform. Two young male attendants stand at right in saffron-orange dhotis and wraps, with long dark hair piled on their heads, white markings on their chests and arms, and rudraksha-style beaded necklaces. They hold a metal vessel between them, and a brass pot sits behind them. A red carpet covers the stage floor.
