A ritual puja setup laid out on an orange cloth over a white sheet. Brass plates hold red rose petals, green leaves, and a small oil lamp with a lit flame. A brass vessel with a spoon, a small brass bell, a white conch shell on a stand, a bowl of powder, and a beaded mala with an incense stick sit nearby. A hand in the upper frame, wearing red-orange robes, is reaching toward the arrangement. No person's face is visible, so no one is identified.
