Noticed it. Definitely it carries some sort of message to the viewers as it is show with more emphasis. Looking forward for someone to clarify the symbolism...
I liked this scene Sonia. There was also a fire burning while the pooja is going on. Maybe it shows the auspicious start to a journey where someone has to go through fire. Fire is believed to remove impurity...so someone might have to go throough fire to remove some negative thoughts and change. Astha will be affected but this is not about her...most probably it is about Shloke.
