Brass puja vessels, small bowls and a kalasha-style brass lamp set sit on pink and brown mats in front of them, with flower petals and offerings. Several boys have eyes closed in meditation with hands folded. An adult in orange robes is partly visible at the left edge, and a cream cushioned chair sits at right.
