A photograph of a brass puja tray set on stone steps with a red wall behind. On the tray are brass oil lamps, a small bell-shaped vessel, a conch shell, a cobra-headed brass stand, bowls and a plate with kumkum and offerings. Two standing cut-out printed images of a bearded man in saffron robes, rudraksha mala garlands, gold necklaces and orange turbans are placed on a wooden stand, one raising a hand in blessing. These are printed images, not physical people, so no living person is visible.
