A photograph of a puja at an indoor hall with pale walls and barred windows. A standing figure in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, with a yellow-green flower garland and long dark hair, stands with hands joined in prayer to the left. Seated in front of the shrine, several people in saffron robes sit on a green and red striped mat, and a man in white clothes tends brass vessels and oil lamps. Behind them, an elaborate arch of white jasmine and pink flower garlands surrounds a framed portrait on a flower-decorated table, with a lit brass lamp and fruit offerings in front. Brass pots, plates and a lit oil lamp sit on the floor.
