A photograph of a ritual offering in a temple-style hall. A woman on the right in a rust-orange sari with a gold border and a dark rudraksha mala wears small hoop earrings and holds a red and gold brocade tray piled with folded white cloths. A person in an orange-saffron robe with a long red-and-white garland with blue beads reaches in from the left to take them. Behind them is a large golden figure, possibly a deity murti or ornate peetha, and a microphone stand is visible above. The scene suggests a puja or offering of cloths.
