Close-up photo of a seated man in a white dhoti and orange shawl with printed script, holding a single red flower between his fingers during a puja. Brass thalis hold red and pink petals, brass cups, a small bell and lamps, and small oil lamps glow on the cloth-covered floor. A wristwatch and bangle are visible on his wrists, and a white paper cup sits in the foreground. Only the lower body and hands of one person are visible, so the presence of a candidate for a person cannot be confirmed from appearance.

Photo of a seated puja setup on a white tiled floor. In the foreground, a man in orange saffron dhoti and orange garment with rudraksha malas and a bracelet, wearing sacred white ash markings, reaches toward a brass plate on a rust-red cloth holding fruit, flowers, a small bell, brass cups, a conch-shaped vessel, a small brass lamp and ritual implements. Two other people sit cross-legged in white clothes on a striped mat behind, one with hands folded near a plate. Lit oil lamps, brass trays and a clear plastic box sit nearby.
