Photograph of a puja being performed on a white marble floor. In the foreground, a priest's hands with rudraksha bracelets and gold bangles hold a small brass spoon over a brass bowl, while another hand pours or sprinkles from a conch shell onto a bamboo mat. Brass plates hold red and pink rose petals, a small brass deity murti, a kalasha-style vessel, betel leaves, and small brass cups of offerings. A lit oil lamp sits nearby. Behind, a striped red, blue and orange cloth covers the floor, and a person in white dhoti clothing sits in the background. Several brass bowls and a small glass bottle are arranged on the mat. Visible people: two partially shown hands and a partial figure in white.
