A photograph of a seated man in cream-coloured kurta with a rudraksha-style dark bead mala and a lanyard, wearing glasses, holding a small silver cup with both hands in front of him. In front of him are silver puja trays with flower petals in pink and white, a red apple, and a silver vessel. Partially visible people in the foreground, including a bare foot, appear to be taking part in the ritual. No identifiable a person depiction is established from appearance, so the figure is described only by role as a devotee at a puja offering.
