Close view of a polished brass puja thali held in the foreground, carrying small brass bowls of flower petals, a larger bowl of orange and yellow petals with green leaves, a lit oil lamp flame, a brass cup, a white conch-shaped vessel and a small brass kalasha-style pot. Blurred colourful fabric and a dark sleeve show a person holding the tray during a pratyaksha pada puja offering. No faces are clearly visible; the scene is an offering tray rather than a visible identifiable person.
