A photograph of devotees performing puja before a large white figure on a wooden seat with cushions. The figure wears a pink-and-white turban-like headpiece, a multi-strand marigold garland and a rudraksha-style bead necklace; it is a statue or depiction, not a living person. In front stands a brass tray with small lamps, flowers and offerings, a brass bell and a small kalasha-style vessel on a white-draped table. Around it, a man in a grey checked shirt with a blue face mask, a woman in an orange top, a woman in red with folded hands, a girl in an orange dress, and young children with hands joined pray in an indoor room with red walls and green plants. Several people stand in namaskar with palms pressed together.
