Close view of a puja tray on a white tiled floor. A bare male hand, sleeve pushed back, reaches over the tray to light a wick of a brass oil lamp. Brass plates and bowls hold yellow marigold-type flowers, a red-tinged offering, rice or grain, a small brass lota with a spoon, a tall brass bell, and a white cloth-wrapped item. Lit oil lamps and an incense stick sit at the lower left, and a striped red and white cloth edges the right side. No face is visible, so the presence of a specific person cannot be confirmed.
