A row of brass puja trays on silver-edged stands stretches across a hall, each with oil lamps, pink and white flowers, a conch shell, brass bells and small copper cups on orange cloth. Several people in saffron-orange robes sit along the table, one hand reaching toward a flower plate. The lamps glow warmly in the dim room. No one's face is visible, and no one is identified as a person.
