A photograph of a stainless steel table set with many small bowls of ritual offerings against a plain white wall. The bowls are in red, teal, blue and orange plastic and contain halved coconuts, yellow bananas or fruit pieces, betel leaves, turmeric and kumkum powder, and small sweets. A string of white and pink flower garlands lies in the middle. Folded silk saris in pink, orange and purple sit at the left end of the table. No people are visible. The setting suggests preparations for a puja offering, with a small fabric-covered sign partly visible at the far left.

Close view of ritual preparations on a white floor with a brown cloth in front. Heaps of white and yellow marigold garlands with red ribbon-like accents sit on a silver tray at left, and a second garland rests in the foreground. Behind them, a folded silk cloth in maroon and gold with purple tones lies on a tray beside bowls of red and pink rose petals. A silver ornate box stands at upper right, and a person in a white dhoti with a red-and-gold border kneels at the top edge, with only hands and feet visible. Small brass items and a rose-petal-filled basket complete the offering arrangement.

Photograph of silver trays of fresh flowers arranged in a row on a white cloth-covered ledge for a ritual offering. From front to back: white jasmine strands, red roses, lavender-purple chrysanthemums, yellow marigolds and red-orange roses. A blue cloth with gold trim hangs at the right edge. At upper left, figures in orange robes sit in the background beside a large brass vessel edged with yellow flower strands. Yellow and white decorated trays sit at the left edge. No identifiable face is clearly visible among the background figures, and the image is a photo.

Close view of a white-draped table holding several ornate silver trays filled with fresh flowers for offering. The trays contain red roses, orange and yellow marigolds, purple and mauve asters, white jasmine blossoms, and purple blossoms in the lower right foreground. A deep teal cloth with gold embroidered patterns hangs behind the table, and a grey paved floor runs along the left. No people are visible; the flowers are arranged for puja offerings.

A close photograph of a ritual offering arranged on a white-draped table outdoors. Large heaps of yellow marigold-type flowers, red celosia-style blooms and white flowers are bundled with green leaves and tied with a dry straw band. Silver bowls and a plate sit beside them, a peach-coloured fruit is at the left edge, and a lit oil lamp is visible at the top. A person in an orange garment stands at the right edge, partly cropped. No face of any person is clearly visible, so no identifiable a person appearance is shown.

Indoor photo of a long blue wooden table laid with offerings for a ritual meal. Several plastic bowls in orange, turquoise and red hold rice, grains and food, with spoons resting in them. Behind the table, red and turquoise bowls hold more offerings, and a few wrapped gift packets sit near flower garlands. In the foreground a seated man in white clothes, with dark hair, sits on a folding chair writing or reading at a small board. Other people in white clothing stand in the background near the table. The floor is concrete.
