A polished brass kalasha pot stands on a round brass tray filled with white grains, decorated with a mango-leaf bundle topped by a yellow tassel and white and orange flowers. Marigold and other flower garlands in white, yellow, magenta and purple lie on the table beside it, with orange and white flowers scattered on the tray. Behind are a whitewashed wall with red stripes and green foliage. No people are visible, and the image shows a ritual kalasha arrangement rather than an identifiable event.

Brass items include a small oil lamp with a lit flame, a brass bell with a handle, an incense stick in a brass holder, a brass cup, and small brass dishes. Red and pink flower petals, red flowers and a green leaf are scattered nearby, and a plate of orange and red flower garlands with dark beads sits in the lower right. A small bottle of oil stands beside the lamp. No people are visible.

Close-up photograph of a puja arrangement laid on an orange cloth over a white marble floor. In the foreground, a folded orange cloth rests on a brass plate with rudraksha beads, beside a brass lota-shaped vessel decorated with a red and green floral ornament and a small jewelled brooch. Pink and red flowers sit in a copper bowl, a copper cup holds spoons, a small brass oil lamp and a brass bell stand to the right, and a red kumkum-filled bowl lies nearby. A dark framed picture stands at the left edge, with no people visible. The setting suggests a paduka puja at a temple altar.

A photograph of a ritual table draped in white cloth outdoors on bare earth. On the left, a brass or gold-toned kalasha pot with a yellow coconut and green mango leaves sits on a brass plate. On the right, a heap of bright magenta-red flowers. A partially visible person in dark trousers and a wristwatch stands at the left edge. A white post and cardboard boxes appear in the background.

A brass oil lamp with a lit flame sits at the left edge, beside a red hibiscus flower on a stand. Centre stage, a silver kalasha with an engraved body and a coconut topped with green leaves rests on a silver tray atop a green cloth edged in gold. Yellow marigolds, red and pink petals are scattered across the cloth and the white painted ledge behind it. A second brass lamp with a lit wick stands at the upper right. A purple and blue striped mat lies beneath, and a dark rectangular pit is visible at the left. No people are visible; this is a ritual setup of a kalasha and lamps arranged for puja.
