A photograph of a puja setup on a white marble floor. A man's bare hand, with a ring-free palm, hovers over a brass lamp on a rust-red cloth. Nearby are brass plates of pink and yellow flower petals, a conch shell, small brass cups, a bell, and lit oil lamps and incense sticks. Another brass tray with yellow flowers and lamps sits at left. Behind, a seated person in white dhoti with a gold border and an orange garment rests on a maroon mat. The scene suggests a ritual offering, though no clear identity is visible.
