On the altar stand a framed printed picture of a deity with multiple arms and a seated figure, a white and red beaded mala, a brass plate with yellow flower petals and leaves, a brass bowl of petals, several small brass bowls, a white conch shell, and a lit incense stick. The lamps stand on brass holders, and a small plastic container sits behind the altar.

A photograph of a puja altar on a dark red velvet cloth on a white tiled floor. Brass plates hold yellow flower petals and leaves, and small brass bowls with kumkum and a conical brass vessel stand nearby. Three oil lamps burn with flames, and a lit incense stick rises at the right. A white conch shell sits in the centre. Behind the altar, a framed chromolithograph of a multi-armed deity murti and a small framed portrait of a seated, robed man rest against a plastic container, beside a rudraksha-style mala of white beads. No people are visible.2016-09-30 +1 copiesAugust 24 20162016-08-24July 14 20132013-07-14A small puja arrangement set on a dark teal cloth with white bead trim on a pale tiled floor. Two brass oil lamps with lit wicks flank a framed portrait at the back. The portrait shows a smiling young man in a white turban with a red tilak, a white garment and a rudraksha mala; it is a printed picture, not a physical person. In front, a brass plate holds white and red flower petals, and a rudraksha mala lies on an orange and yellow cloth. A brass bell, a brass cup with a spoon, a white conch shell, an incense stick in a holder and a small brass container complete the setup. No people are visible.2011-08-04July 12 20132013-07-12A photo of a brass puja setup on a woven mat on a white marble floor.
