A photograph of a puja arrangement on a woven mat. A hand pours liquid from a small brass vessel over a small figure or idol on a gold tray, with a lit oil lamp and a brass lamp nearby. Other brass plates hold red roses, green leaves, a dark wooden rudraksha-style mala, rice, and small brass cups and a spoon. A bell and another brass lamp stand in the foreground. Only a hand and a forearm are visible, with a striped cloth at the lower right, so no full person is shown.
