Photo of a puja in a temple-style room with a deity murti dressed in a brown and gold sari-like garment, a silver crown, and draped with garlands of white, red, yellow and green flowers, set before a golden arched backdrop. A man standing at left, bare-shouldered and wearing an orange-brown cloth with a gold border and flower garlands, holds an offering in his hand. Two men kneel in the foreground: one in an orange-brown cloth with gold border, the other in a white dhoti with a gold border, assisting with the ritual. A gold ritual vessel sits at right, and a potted plant and red curtain frame the left side. The standing man shows no clear distinguishing cues beyond ordinary ritual attire, so his identity is uncertain.
