Indoor puja set up in a hall with pale green walls and fluorescent lights. A large altar is covered in white jasmine garlands edged with magenta flowers and arched like a shrine, with a framed portrait and a deity image at its centre, flanked by lit oil lamps, fruit plates and marigolds. In the foreground, two saffron-robed men sit on a mat before brass lamps and offering plates. Behind them a person in white and another in a striped shirt sit near a speaker and window grille, and a film light stand is in front of the altar.
