A photograph of a ritual setup on a wooden tray: a small gold-toned metal figure pair of a deity, one holding a trident-like staff and wearing a crown, seated beside a figure in an orange-red and yellow sari with gold border. A silver dome-shaped vessel with a pointed finial sits to the left. Pale fabric drapes a low table behind, a partially visible hand with bangles reaches in from the left, and a red water bottle and a metal grille sit in the background. No people are fully visible; the only human presence is the partial hand. Deity murti setup for a puja.
