A photograph of a puja in a hall with pale walls and carpeted floor. On the right, a man with long dark hair, wearing orange robes and rudraksha beads, sits cross-legged on a raised orange-draped seat with palms joined in anjali; he matches the page's a person claim only loosely, so identity is uncertain. In front of him, a brass plate holds bananas, a pineapple, oranges, flowers and brass vessels. Around him, about a dozen devotees in orange and red-trimmed saris and robes sit on white cloths, hands joined in prayer. Behind them stand several painted deity murtis, including a pair of figures with flutes and crowns in the back right, and a figure with a cow-like crown in the centre.
