Close-up of a puja arrangement on an orange cloth: a hand holding a brass handled ritual implement over a small brass oil lamp with a lit flame, a brass incense stick, a brass cup, a white cowrie-like shell, a small brass deity murti in white and green draped clothing on the left, and a brass figure beside a patterned cloth. A small brass lamp burns and a stick of incense smokes. The background is soft and blurred with other lamps and flowers. No faces are visible; only one hand appears, so one partially visible person is shown.
