Close view of a puja setup on a tiled floor. A hand in a bangle reaches toward a brass plate holding yellow marigold petals, a small brass lamp and sacred items, while an arm in orange robes rests nearby. Orange cloths hold more brass plates, a brass bell, a conch shell, a brass water vessel and a spouted cup. Oil lamps burn with flames, and an incense stick rises from a holder. The cloth and robes are orange, with a red cloth folded on the left.
