Close-up photograph of a brass puja tray arranged on a silver-embossed stand with a maroon woven mat. Pink flower petals fill a brass plate, and a clear crystal lingam sits on a brass base amid small brass bowls of kumkum, turmeric paste, sweets and vibhuti, with a green betel leaf and a brass conch-shaped vessel. Brass oil lamps and a bell stand at the edges. No people are visible; the blurred background shows a purple and white floor.2019-01-01May 24 20182018-05-24Close overhead photo of a puja offering arranged on a red woven mat.

Two brass plates hold red and pink rose petals, a brass oil lamp with a lit flame sits on a third plate, and a small brass bell, a brass sprinkler with a handle, a brass cup, a small brass dish, a brass kalasha-style vessel and a pair of rudraksha earrings lie nearby, with loose rose petals scattered across the cloth. No people are visible; this is a ritual offering setup.2014-03-31Close-up photograph of a ceremonial silver puja tray filled with small embossed silver bowls and a silver container, holding red and orange flowers, yellow petals, white blossoms and a pink flower, with a silver spouted vessel and a silver lid.

Two cut-out printed figures of a saffron-robed, turbaned man with long gold beaded necklaces and a raised hand stand on wooden bases at the back; they are depictions, not physical people. In front lie polished brass puja vessels: a large lotus-patterned plate, a flower-engraved plate, a lamp, a kalasha-like covered pot, small bowls, a spoon-handled vessel, a bell-shaped handle, a conch shell, and a folded cloth holding a rudraksha mala. The setting suggests worship preparation.2018-01-01February 02 20172017-02-02
