A photograph of a ceremonial altar set up for ritual worship. At centre stands a small metal deity murti in a rose-red and gold dhoti, adorned with layered rudraksha-style beads and a jewelled chest ornament, placed before a silver ornate arched backdrop (prabhavali) with carved lion-like figures. Behind it hang orange and magenta silk drapes with a gold-and-red patterned border, and fresh garlands of red flowers and green leaves frame the arch. In the foreground are polished brass and silver puja vessels, a kalasha-style pot, small bowls, a lamp with a lit oil flame and folded cloth. No people are visible in the scene.
