Close-up photo of a puja setting. A person in orange saffron robes sits at left, with only the orange fabric and folded hands visible. In front is a large polished brass tray with embossed floral patterns. Pink roses, white jasmine-type flowers and a strand of beads lie on a plate, beside silver bowls and a small brass lamp. The person's face is not visible, so the identity is uncertain.
