A seated man in an orange saffron robe and rudraksha mala performs puja at a silver shrine. He sits on a checked mat, holding a wicker basket of pink flower petals in one hand while gesturing with the other. Before him stands a silver tiered shrine with a domed canopy, filled with orange marigold garlands and pink flowers around a deity murti. A silver tray holds fruit, sweets and small lamps, and brass vessels rest on the floor. A poster of deities hangs on the white tent wall behind him.
