A close photograph of a puja table covered with an orange cloth. Gold-coloured brass plates hold white and pink flowers, and a brass oil lamp with a lit wick stands at the back. A large red hibiscus flower and orange ixora blooms sit among the offerings. Printed cards with a portrait of a saffron-robed figure lie on the cloth, and a small brass vessel and a gold ornament are at the left edge. No people are visible in the frame.

Close photograph of a puja table covered with a magenta cloth, set with brass plates of yellow marigold petals, pink and purple flowers, a white conch shell on a leaf, brass bells, oil lamps, a small brass kalasha pot, and a golden deity murti with a bull figure. A red-and-cream tray sits at left, and a blurred figure in a red robe with a hand visible at upper right. No readable visible person is clearly identifiable as a person; the scene is of ritual objects on an altar.

A brass puja setup in the foreground on an orange cloth. A framed portrait stands on a small easel, showing a long-haired figure in orange robes with gold ornaments, which is a printed picture rather than a physical person. Beside it sit a small carved wooden deity murti, a brass bell, a brass oil lamp with a lit flame, a brass bowl, a marigold and red flower arrangement, rudraksha beads on a plate and a steel flask. Blurred figures in red robes with gold trim stand in the background. The scene is a ritual arrangement.

A puja setup on an orange cloth over a green mat: a brass plate with pink rose petals, a brass plate holding red roses, green leaves, a black bead mala and two small gold deity figures, brass oil lamps with red powder, a brass spoon in a cup, a white conch-shaped item on a stand, a brass bell and a cup of light liquid. No people are visible, so it is an offerings arrangement rather than a person.
