Close view of a puja table with a small brass deity murti decorated with a pink flower garland, standing on a green base beside a brass incense stick holder with lit incense. Two lit oil lamps glow on an orange cloth, with a brass cup, a small brass plate holding a white offering, and a brass spoon. A pair of hands in the foreground, with gold bangles, lifts the spoon to pour or offer. Other hands and blurred figures in orange-red clothing are visible at the top right. Only partial hands are visible, so no full person is clearly shown.

Close-up of a puja arrangement on an orange cloth: a hand holding a brass handled ritual implement over a small brass oil lamp with a lit flame, a brass incense stick, a brass cup, a white cowrie-like shell, a small brass deity murti in white and green draped clothing on the left, and a brass figure beside a patterned cloth. A small brass lamp burns and a stick of incense smokes. The background is soft and blurred with other lamps and flowers. No faces are visible; only one hand appears, so one partially visible person is shown.

Close photograph of a puja being performed on the floor. A person in white clothing and gold bangles holds a brass bell in one hand and an incense stick or spoon in the other. On a bright orange cloth sit small brass oil lamps with a lit flame, a brass cup, a brass plate with yellow and pink flower petals, a small wooden stand, a brass figurine, and a plate of white flowers and sweets. Incense sticks are burning. No face of the person is visible, so no a person identification is made.

A hand wearing a gold bangle arranges green leaves and white flowers on a brass thali plate, next to a small brass cup, a conch shell, a brass oil lamp with a lit flame, and an incense stick sending up smoke.
