A photograph of a ritual table set with a brass oil lamp burning with a flame, a small brass ganesha-style figurine, a brass plate holding rudraksha malas with crystal and gold-toned beads, pink and white flower petals, a brass kalasha-style vessel, a brass bell, and an orange cloth folded on a rust-brown draped cloth. A rudraksha mala hangs in the background, and an incense stick smoke line rises at the top. No people are visible; the scene shows puja items laid out for worship.

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.

Several polished brass plates hold betel leaves, a small brass ritual bell stands at right, a brass tumbler sits at the top, and a lit oil lamp in a brass dish glows at left. Pink flowers and a bangle rest on a gold-brocade cloth at lower right, and a stick of incense smokes near a white ceramic holder. No people are visible.

At centre, a brass thali holds a lit oil lamp in a small brass bowl, with a red flower and a stick of incense beside it.

A person in orange robes wears a rudraksha bracelet and holds a small brass oil lamp, lit with a flame, over an arrangement of brass plates with pink flower petals, sandalwood paste, a pink conch shell, incense sticks, a brass bell and small brass cups. Other people in orange robes sit in a row behind, with more lamps and offering trays in front of them. The scene suggests a ritual worship with lamps and offerings.

Close-up of a puja setup on a silver-embossed tray: a silver-rimmed brass kalasha holding a clear crystal lingam-like object topped with a pink flower, a white and gold bead mala draped over it, a small round pendant photo of a smiling man in a red head covering, a white conch shell with a pink flower resting on a brass stand, a brass bell with a handle, and a brass plate with folded cloth. An orange robe is visible at the top edge. No people are clearly visible in the frame.

Close photo of a person in orange robes seated on the floor, holding a rudraksha mala in their right hand over a puja arrangement on a red cloth. Brass puja items sit on the cloth, including a brass oil lamp, a bell, a brass plate with white cloth and flowers, a small brass vessel and a triangular metal piece. Only hands and forearms with white ash marks are visible, and the setting is a tiled floor. The scene suggests japa or puja with a mala.

A photo of a padapuja-style offering: a figure in orange cloth sits on a gold-framed seat with red and white flower garlands draped over the orange garment.

Two hands in white or cream sleeves hold a small silver vessel and reach toward the tray. Only hands and partial limbs of people are visible. The scene is set on a red cloth with a gold chair in the background.
