A worship arrangement on a white tiled floor during a ritual session. A hand in orange sleeve holds a small brass spoon over a tray with brass bowls, a plate of white rice, a brass kalasha-style lamp, flowers, a red rudraksha-style mala, and oil lamps. Two small printed or carved figures stand on a wooden peetha: a larger one in a red-orange turban and ornate gold necklace with a red shawl, and a smaller seated one in similar attire. Orange cloth lies on the floor nearby and a lit oil lamp sits in the lower left. The figures are depictions, not physical people; one physical person is visible via the hands and arm.
