Close photo of a puja offering on red-painted steps. A hand holds a brass oil lamp (deepam) with lit flame and rising smoke over a brass thali set on a red cloth with a gold border. The thali holds small brass bowls of rice or grains, a red flower, green leaves, incense sticks and a small brass lamp. A white conch shell and a brass kalasha-style vessel sit nearby, with a small white shrine-like object and a glass jar of yellow powder at the edge. The wrist wears a gold bangle and a beaded bracelet. No faces are visible.
