A close overhead photo of a ritual puja setup on a leopard-print cloth. A person in a white dhoti-style garment with a gold border reaches toward a small brass bowl holding white powder, while another hand rests nearby. Both wrists wear rudraksha beaded bracelets, and one wrist has a silver bracelet. Surrounding brass items include a plate with fruit and flowers, small oil lamps with flames, a brass kalasha-like vessel, a brass bell and bowls of turmeric, kumkum and vermilion. A lit incense stick rises at the top, and a lighter and a small framed picture lie at the edges, on a striped cloth and a dark wooden box.
