Close-up photo of a puja setup on a red-orange cloth. A pair of hands pours liquid from a small brass spoon into a brass vessel while another hand holds a spoon. Brass plates hold flower petals, vermilion-red flowers, green leaves, turmeric, and white powder. A white conch shell rests on a brass stand beside a dark stone, a brass lamp, and a wooden box with a lid open to show a picture inside. Scattered white jasmine petals lie on a dark stone slab with a terracotta-coloured piece. No identifiable person's face is visible, only forearms and hands performing the ritual.
