Photograph of a deity murti adorned with thick garlands of yellow, pink and white flowers, standing before a green cloth backdrop on a wooden floor scattered with petals. In front are offering trays and baskets of bananas, coconut halves, apples, lemons and loose flowers, with small paper slips placed among them. A brass lamp stands at the left edge; a partly visible person in white dhoti stands at the left and figures in saffron and colourful saris appear at the top. A corner of the scene shows a red clothed figure in a green sari and orange cloth to the right. Ritual puja offering setting.

Overhead photo of a floor offering arrangement on a reddish-brown wooden floor. A large bronze hand. Silver trays hold bananas, green and red apples, whole coconuts, mangoes or limes, and a small bowl of red kumkum, with yellow flowers scattered over them. A framed photo in the upper left shows a man in a purple top, but it is a printed picture and not a physical person. No people are physically visible in the frame.

A temple-style ritual scene centred on a deity murti dressed with thick garlands of white jasmine and orange-yellow marigolds, red roses, and gold-toned ornamental jewellery and a patterned cloth. The murti sits before an ornate gold arched frame with an orange backdrop. Two priests in white dhotis, one with a yellow-and-white cloth wrapped on his shoulder, bend over the murti offering it water or aarti items, and a small oil lamp burns on a brass stand nearby. Silver-toned vessels, bananas, coconut halves and a bowl of offerings lie on a striped blanket in the foreground. Partially visible people at the left edge and a few onlookers at the top are present in the background.

A close photograph of a seated figure's feet on a gold-toned throne or peetha, the bare golden-brown foot wearing an ankle chain and white dhoti hem with gold border. Garlands of white, pink, yellow and green flowers drape the seat and the figure's legs, with loose pink and magenta petals scattered on the floor. A small dark bowl with white contents sits at left. The setting is a worship room with wooden flooring. The figure's face is not visible, so no identity is asserted here.

The person wears a rust-red draped cloth over the legs and sits on a gold throne with red cushions. At left, a man in a dark shirt holds a flower garland and leans toward the foot, with a woman in orange behind him wearing a garland. Plain white and orange garlands hang in the frame.
