Indoor puja in a plain cream-walled room. A seated figure on an ornate gold-and-red throne, wearing saffron robes and a garland, presses hands together in greeting. In front of the throne, a man in white ritual clothes lights or tends a small flame near offerings. Around the low white-draped table, devotees in white and cream clothes, some with yellow shawls, sit with folded hands. Trays of fruit, including oranges, apples and bananas, and brass plates are laid out on the mat. A wall-mounted air conditioner and a patterned sofa are visible at the right edge.
