A photo of a puja set up before a temple-style shrine hung with orange drapes and yellow marigold garlands. In the centre a man in an orange-saffron dhoti and a matching shawl stands with hands raised, facing forward, beside a microphone stand. At right a man in a blue collared shirt leans over a tray of lit lamps. Colourful deity murtis, flower garlands and a framed picture stand behind them, and fruit, sweets, bowls and banana leaves cover the cloth-covered floor in front. The man in orange has short grey hair and no visible long hair, crown or rudraksha, so his identity is uncertain; he is described by role only.
