Close-up photograph of a floor-level puja arrangement on a glossy white surface. Two incense sticks send up smoke in the centre beside a clear plastic container and a brass incense holder. Small brass oil lamps with lit flames sit among pink flower petals, white and yellow offerings in small brass bowls, and a few coconuts. Pale pink carved figures stand at the left and right edges. Out of focus behind them, several people in orange and saffron robes sit on the floor, some with white marks on their arms and foreheads. The scene is an offering arrangement with lamps and incense, with no visible central figure identifiable.
