Overhead photo of a polished silver-coloured metal plate holding a ritual offering arrangement. A purple plum sits on a small round dish at the top centre, a small cup of clear water sits at lower left, and a small bowl of mixed dry fruits and nuts (almonds, cashews, walnuts and golden raisins) sits at lower right. The plate rests on a red-and-white cloth edged with a red patterned border, and brass vessels are visible at the top edge. No people are visible.

A green round tray with a red rim sits on a gold metallic cloth. It holds four small stainless steel cups: one with clear liquid at upper left, one with whole almonds and walnut pieces at top, one with cashews at bottom, and one with dates at right. No people are visible. This appears to be a naivedhyam food offering arranged on a tray.

Overhead photograph of a round stainless steel thali on a red and white woven cloth. Four small steel bowls hold offerings: a bowl of dark liquid with pale sliced pieces (likely a sweet or drink), a small cup of clear yellow liquid with a saffron strand floating on it, a bowl of cashew nuts and golden raisins, and a bowl holding a square yellow block (possibly ghee or sweet). No people, deities or ritual performers are visible, so this shows food and offering items on a plate rather than an identifiable event.
