A seated puja ceremony in a temple hall with deity murtis and colourful decorations behind. On the left, a woman in a navy blouse and striped maroon-and-white sari sits with hands together. Beside her, an older woman in a white sari with gold border wears glasses and gold jewellery and holds a pink flower. Next, a man in a white shirt and dark trousers sits barefoot, reaching toward a tray of flowers. Standing centre-right, a barefoot person in white dhoti-style clothing with a green-edged shawl and a rudraksha mala holds a flower-filled tray. On the right, a person in orange robes with a gold necklace sits on a cushioned seat, hands resting on the lap. On the mat before them are baskets of nuts, grains, sweets and fruit, a brass tray, a kalasha-style brass vessel, and orange flowers.

A man with long swept-back white hair, white clothing and a white-and-gold pendant with beads sits at the centre, his hand raised over a brass tray set with a garland of white flowers and red kumkum. Around him, several people in white dress kneel and offer kumkum and flowers from the tray. Behind them, many brass bowls of grains, sweets and fruit are arranged in rows, with potted palms at the left and devotees in white seated in the background. Appearance-based cues are consistent with a person for the central white-haired figure, who holds the ritual centre as a presiding figure.2006-10-21
