Overhead photograph of a brass puja arrangement on orange and maroon cloth. At the top sits a framed photograph of a figure in orange robes with a silver bead garland, seated on a golden throne flanked by lion-like figures, under a halo. Around it are brass items: a bell with a handle, a small deity murti with a leaf, a scalloped bowl with flower petals, a copper cup, a spoon, a conch shell, a small lamp and a brass plate. The figure in the frame is a depiction only, and no physical person is visible. The framed image is not clearly labelled with a name, so no caption is attributed. Scene contains no physical people.

A photograph of a puja altar on a dark red velvet cloth on a white tiled floor. Brass plates hold yellow flower petals and leaves, and small brass bowls with kumkum and a conical brass vessel stand nearby. Three oil lamps burn with flames, and a lit incense stick rises at the right. A white conch shell sits in the centre. Behind the altar, a framed chromolithograph of a multi-armed deity murti and a small framed portrait of a seated, robed man rest against a plastic container, beside a rudraksha-style mala of white beads. No people are visible.
