A photograph of a puja setup on a red-painted stone ledge. Brass plates hold red and white flowers, yellow marigold petals, a conch shell, a brass bell, small brass cups and bowls of kumkum and grains. A small framed figure of a bearded man in an orange-red robe with a turban stands on a wooden base beside an incense stick. A white cloth lies at lower left, and a person in white sleeves reaches in from the right to adjust items. No people's faces are visible, and no clear a person candidate is shown; the figure is a printed or framed image in a ritual setting.
