Three women in orange and saffron saris with rudraksha malas sit cross-legged on a floor during a puja. The woman on the left raises an incense stick and holds a small brass bell, the woman in the centre holds a brass bell and incense, and the woman on the right, wearing a gold-bordered orange sari, gestures with her hands while speaking. Brass lamps, a small bowl of pink flower petals, a water bottle and a plate of offerings lie on a cloth before them. A red curtain and chairs stand behind, and a fourth woman in glasses is partly visible at the right edge.

Several wear rudraksha and beaded malas and white vibhuti lines on their foreheads. Brass puja vessels, a bell, flowers and a small offering plate are arranged on low tables in front of them. Other devotees in orange sit behind, and a red curtain hangs in the background.

A group of women in orange and saffron saris with yellow borders sit cross-legged on a floor covered with a green cloth, performing a ritual with brass vessels and an oil lamp. The central woman wears a saffron sari with a maroon border, glasses, and a long garland of orange beads, holding a small brass spoon over a brass cup. The woman at right wears a saffron sari with a yellow border, a dark rudraksha mala, and bangles, and has a white vibhuti line on her forehead. Other women behind them wear similar orange garments and white forehead markings. Small flowers and a lit oil lamp sit on the cloth.

Several women in orange saris with red blouses sit on the floor during a puja. Three in front hold small oil lamps and lit wicks, one with a raised hand offering. Behind them, more people in orange and red clothing sit or stand in a hall. On the floor in front lie brass bowls, a silver vessel, a small clay lamp, flower petals and an orange cloth. A white window and an orange cloth backdrop are visible.

Several hold small oil lamps with lit flames, and a silver tray with flowers and brass cups sits in the foreground. Women in red and orange garments and white dhotis or saris are visible among the rows, with one woman in front holding a lamp and another with white paste on her forehead. The setting suggests a satsang or puja gathering.

Four women in orange saffron clothing sit cross-legged in a row on the floor during a puja. Each holds a small brass oil lamp or bell-shaped brass vessel with a lit flame, and several have their hands raised in ritual gesture. Some wear tilak marks on their foreheads and rudraksha-style beaded necklaces. In front of them on a red cloth are offerings including fruit, flowers and small brass lamps and bowls. Behind them a yellow checked cloth covers a table and a red curtain hangs at the left edge.
