A photograph of a devotional puja at an indoor wall. Centre right, a large printed portrait of a smiling man with an orange-red turban, a red tilak, a white flower garland and a pearl mala, dressed in orange with a patterned orange shawl, is displayed as a depiction; it is not a physical person. In front of it, a woman in an orange sari with gold border stands with palms pressed together in namaste. At lower left, a woman in a pink top holds a lit oil lamp over a silver tray. In the foreground, a brass plate holds small bowls of rice, kumkum and other offerings, with bananas and marigold garlands. Two other women are partly visible at the edges.
