Indoor home puja in a kitchen-like room with white tiled walls, wall cabinets and a counter. A bare-chested man in white dhoti and rudraksha mala sits on the floor, head bowed, with sandalwood-marked torso. Beside him a woman in a red saree and rudraksha mala places offerings of marigold petals on a steel plate. Another woman in a red sari with floral blouse and a woman in maroon and orange sit nearby, with a woman in dark clothing at the right handling petals. A woman in a purple shawl and orange blouse with a braid and a woman in red kurta stand at the back. A shelf holds bottles and jars; a poster of a tree and path hangs on the right. Several people kneel around a mat as part of a home ritual.
