Close view of an ornate brass puja setup on a gold-toned stepped pedestal. A lit oil lamp flame sits on a wide brass tray, beside a silver cup, flowers and a small brass vessel. A hand holds a brass bell while another hand holds a brass arati lamp with a handle. Behind, framed deity images with a trident-bearing figure and a small shrine, typical of a home or shrine corner. Red cloth and small brass dishes lie at the lower left. Two hands are visible, no full person; the scene suggests an arati offering.
