Two young boys in saffron-orange robes sit cross-legged on a mat during a puja. The boy in front, with a white vibhuti line across his forehead, pours liquid from a small brass vessel with a spoon over a tray of yellow flowers. Beside him, a younger boy with a red kumkum dot holds a brass bell. Brass oil lamps and a brass plate sit on a silver-topped altar at right, and several other robed people are blurred in the background.
