A photograph of a puja in a hall. A seated man on an ornate gold throne with red cushions wears a rust-orange robe, a red bindi, and long rudraksha malas down his chest, and extends his hand over a silver ritual tray holding a small silver vessel. Beside him, a young man kneeling on a white floor in a white dhoti with gold borders, and a rudraksha mala on his bare shoulder, reaches toward a brass vase of pink and purple roses. A gold-framed backdrop, a small fan, and a stone bowl of offerings complete the scene.
