A photograph of a puja setup on a black cloth laid over a light wooden floor. Brass plates hold yellow marigold flowers, a lit oil lamp with a flame, small brass bowls, a brass kalasha-style vessel, and a white conch shell. Two cardboard-style standing cutouts of a bearded man in saffron and orange robes with ornate gold necklaces stand on wooden bases; the cutouts are images, not physical people. An orange cloth is visible at the top left. No physical people are clearly visible apart from a blurred hand at the lower right edge.
