A row of women seated on the floor performing a puja at brass plates and small lamps set on orange cloths. The women in front wear orange saris with maroon borders and rudraksha malas, while the women behind wear white with coloured borders or white blouses with orange shawls. Several hold their hands in anjali or handle brass vessels, kalasha-style cups, flowers and offerings arranged on trays. An open book rests on a cloth in the lower right, and a pink flower garland sits on a plate. The setting appears to be a large hall with a raised white platform.

A row of devotees sits cross-legged on a tiled floor during a pada puja, with palms pressed together in namaskar. Women in saffron-orange and white garments kneel behind brass oil lamps (diyas) and small brass puja vessels arranged on red and orange cloths. A woman in white in the foreground, with hair pulled back and a bangle on her wrist, bows her head with her hands joined. Behind the row, more devotees in orange and white are seated near a red curtain and a white door. Dim warm light suggests an evening ritual.

A large group of women seated on the floor in rows in a hall with red curtains, dressed in orange and red saris with rudraksha malas and forehead markings. Many sit before silver trays holding brass oil lamps, small bells, flowers and petals, appearing to perform a puja or padapuja. Some hold lamps or small offerings, and a few seated figures at the top right wear white and orange clothing. The scene looks like a ritual ceremony in an ashram hall.

A large group of women and girls sit cross-legged on mats in a hall, performing a ritual with brass puja vessels, small oil lamps and flower petals arranged before them. Most wear orange and maroon saris or dresses with white forehead bands and rudraksha malas. Some hold small objects in their hands, and one woman in the foreground wears a red-and-orange sari while another in pink sits nearby. In the background, several people in white garments sit or stand, and a woman in white with a shawl appears near the back. The setting feels like a group satsang or puja gathering with metal lamps and trays of flowers on the floor.
