A shaved-headed young person in orange robes and clear-framed glasses sits cross-legged on a yellow cloth at a puja setup, arranging red flower petals over a brass plate holding a small gold-coloured deity murti. Multiple rudraksha malas are worn on the neck and wrists. Brass implements surround the plate: a bell at left, a kalasha-style vessel and small cup at right, and a spoon. Another orange-robed person sits behind, partly visible at the top left, with a brass cup nearby.
