A photograph of a home-style puja table with a small figure seated on a red cloth, dressed in orange with a headwrap and bare chest, beside a brass Nataraja-style figure against a red backdrop. Several lit oil lamps (diyas) burn on a brass tray, with incense sticks, a brass bowl and a brass vessel in the foreground. A person in pink sleeves is partly visible at the left edge. The figure is a statue or murti, not a physical person, so the a person candidate is a depiction.
