A photograph of a puja at a shrine with a blue striped cloth on the floor. A young male priest in white dhoti with a yellow-bordered cloth and a white face mask kneels at left, holding a small plate and an offering, with sandalwood-marked arms. A woman in a red outfit kneels at right, working on a brass tray of offerings. Before them stand rows of small golden lamps or dishes on a pink cloth, a brass bowl of pink and red rose petals, a copper pot with a red-and-yellow cloth, and orange and pink flowers in a vase on an altar draped with blue and pink cloths. The scene suggests a naivedyam or puja offering.
