Close-up photo of a puja ritual on a low table draped with a silver sheet and a red-brown woven mat. Several oil lamps are lit, including one flame held near a hand, alongside brass plates with flowers, a conch shell, a small brass cup and a brass kalasha-like vessel. Seated figures in orange robes wear rudraksha malas on their wrists; one hand, adorned with bracelets, is reaching toward a lamp while another hand holds a brass implement. The setting appears to be a padapuja or aarti-style offering. Only partial hands and arms of seated devotees are visible.
