A photograph of a puja setup on a black cloth laid over a light wooden floor. A hand in an orange sleeve, belonging to a person seated at the lower right, reaches toward a brass oil lamp with a lit flame. Around it sit brass puja vessels: a plate with small bowls, a plate of yellow marigold flowers, a small brass bell, a brass ritual lamp, a conch shell, a red rose, incense sticks in a red holder, and a brass arati-style stand. At the upper left stands a framed printed image of a man with long hair, wearing orange-saffron clothing, with a wooden base. Only the hand and orange sleeves of the one visible person appear in the frame.
