A photograph of a ritual puja tray on a dark wooden table. At the centre sits a small seated figurine of a man in a saffron-orange turban and ochre robe, with a rudraksha-style mala, hands raised in a blessing mudra; it is a statue, not a living person. Around it are bright yellow and magenta flowers in brass bowls, lit oil lamps with flickering flames, an incense stick in a holder, a brass bell with a handle, a brass pot with a ladle, small dishes of kumkum and turmeric, and a folded maroon cloth with gold trim. Dark carved wooden furniture and a large ornate urn frame the scene. No people are visible.
