Close view of a puja offering being made: a person in an orange-saffron garment with bare feet stands beside a brass tray of flowers, white petals, and sweets, while another hand holds a silver dish with lit incense sticks sending up smoke. Silver and glass bowls hold more offerings, and pink flowers lie on a gold-coloured cloth. A second person's hand, wearing a bangle, holds a silver vessel at right. No readable a person depiction is visible; the orange-clad figure appears to be a devotee assisting the ritual, so no candidate is confirmed.
