Close view of a puja or homa setup on a woven mat. Brass oil lamps with lit wicks, a brass pot, brass cups and bowls, a silver cup, and a brass ladle are arranged on a silver tray and mat. Two figures in orange robes sit at the top, one hand holding a small brass spoon over a cup. Pink-and-cream strips of cloth and small wooden pegs lie on a dark board at left, with fruit, leaves and a conch-like shell among the offerings. No faces are visible and no identifiable a person candidate appears in the frame.
