Close photograph of a puja being performed on a white marble floor. A bare hand with a copper spoon pours milky liquid over a brass plate holding a brown wooden stand, pink rose petals, and small gold coins. Nearby are brass bowls with rice, lit oil lamps, a brass plate of pink flowers, and incense sticks. The edge of a reddish cloth is visible at lower right. Only a hand is visible, so no people are counted beyond that, and no identity is indicated by appearance.

A hand wearing a gold bangle pours milk from a small brass vessel onto a brass plate holding yellow flower petals, green leaves and a betel-leaf offering. Brass oil lamps with lit wicks, a brass bell, a white conch shell, small brass bowls of rice or grain, and incense sticks surround the arrangement on a woven red mat. A person in orange clothing sits at the edge of the frame, and a blurred orange-clad figure sits at the top, with incense smoke rising.
