A close photograph of a puja being performed on a tiled floor. A hand wearing a gold bangle pours milk from a small brass vessel onto a brass plate holding yellow flower petals, green leaves and a betel-leaf offering. Brass oil lamps with lit wicks, a brass bell, a white conch shell, small brass bowls of rice or grain, and incense sticks surround the arrangement on a woven red mat. A person in orange clothing sits at the edge of the frame, and a blurred orange-clad figure sits at the top, with incense smoke rising. The scene suggests an abhishekam or puja offering, with the arrangement of ritual items centred in the frame.
