In the foreground a brass multi-wick oil lamp burns on a silver plate heaped with pink rose petals and white flowers, with a copper bowl of petals behind it, brass bells, a copper cup, betel leaves, a banana, a small oil lamp and incense sticks nearby. At the right edge a woman in a white sari with a gold border sits and performs the rite, with a rudraksha mala at her neck. Behind her, other seated participants in yellow and orange garments sit on the mats near more lamps, a steel jug and flower plates. Brass trays of petals and sweets sit on the edges of the scene.

Close photograph of a row of seated women in red, pink and white saris and white-and-grey patterned shawls, each holding a brass puja plate heaped with pink rose petals and white jasmine flowers. Brass cups, a small spoon and lit incense sticks rise from several plates, and one woman wears a gold wristwatch and a black bangle. The setting appears to be a ritual offering line with the people seated close together.

Photograph of a Saraswati puja set-up on a gold-and-orange cloth. A metal murti of goddess Saraswati, decorated with jewelled ornaments, red flowers, a golden crown and a veena held across her body, sits behind a brass sri yantra-style meru pedestal. Lit oil lamps and a brass lamp stand in front, with brass plates of yellow and white flowers, red roses, and a small Ganesha figurine nearby. Only partial hands of a person in a yellow garment are visible holding an open book at the left edge. No full people are shown.

Close photo of several seated devotees, mostly women in saris and salwar kameez in red, pink, green and blue, passing brass thalis heaped with pink rose petals and white jasmine flowers. Small brass bowls and incense sticks rise from the trays, and a few hands hold folded leaves or offerings. The scene suggests a group puja or flower offering, with no visible deity or figure at the front.
