Close photograph of a ritual puja with brass vessels. A man's hands, one wearing a gold ring, pour water from a brass kendi-style pot into a small brass cup over a tray of yellow marigold flowers. Lit oil lamps and brass bowls sit on a mat with a white conch shell and a sandalwood stick. Men in saffron-orange cloth sit on the floor in the background. The scene shows an abhishekam or padapuja style offering in an ashram setting.
