A row of brass puja plates laid on a mat-covered table, with several people's arms and hands reaching across them. Hands hold white conch shells and pour liquid over offerings on the brass trays. The plates hold white flower petals, rice or grain, and small brass oil lamps burn along the table. Some people wear bracelets and a light green sleeve is visible. The scene is an ordinary ritual offering in progress, with the people largely cropped out of frame.

A row of brass puja trays on silver-edged stands stretches across a hall, each with oil lamps, pink and white flowers, a conch shell, brass bells and small copper cups on orange cloth. Several people in saffron-orange robes sit along the table, one hand reaching toward a flower plate. The lamps glow warmly in the dim room. No one's face is visible, and no one is identified as a person.

Photograph of a puja setup on a white marble floor with brass plates, lamps and offerings laid on red and gold cloth. A man in orange robes sits at right, with a rudraksha bracelet visible on his wrist as he reaches toward a white flower and a small brown offering on a brass plate. Scattered rose petals, yellow flower petals, rice in brass bowls, incense sticks, and burning oil lamps surround the arrangement. Another person's hands are visible at the top edge. The scene appears to be a devotional ritual puja.

A close photograph of a ritual setup on a white floor covered with an orange cloth. Several brass oil lamps (diyas) burn with flames, with brass plates holding red flower petals, rice or grain offerings, a white conch shell, incense sticks standing upright and a brass vessel with a spout. Brass bowls and a small spoon sit among the items. No people are visible, and the scene is lit mainly by the lamps.
