A photograph of a temple-style puja in a hall lined with brass lamps and garland-draped stands. A bare-chested, shaved-headed priest in white dhoti with an orange-red shawl sits on a silver-edged wooden seat, holding a small object and performing rites near a silver puja tray. Facing him, a woman in an orange-gold silk saree with red border and white dhoti-style lower wear sits on a low silver platform beside a tray of fruit, flowers and a kalasha-like vessel with yellow marigold garlands. Trays holding coconut, turmeric-yellow powder and small cups lie on the floor in front. A man with a rudraksha-style garland sits behind them, and a standing figure in white appears in the background.
