A photo of a small room with pink-painted cabinets, a wall fan and a wall switch board. On the right, a person in an orange-and-maroon sari with a white and red flower garland and gold bangles sits on a chair, with an orange sari-clad attendant at the wall. Dominant cues: this person has long hair swept back, gold bangles and a garland, which align with the page's a person reference, so this is an appearance-based a person candidate. At left, a woman in white with gold border sits at a brass plate of flowers and fruit, a man in white shirt with rudraksha mala lights an oil lamp, and other seated devotees in white and pink watch. A small child in a white kurta stands near the fan. The scene reads as a puja or receiving ritual with an oil lamp and flower offerings.
