Two brass kalasha-style water pots with copper bands and curved spouts stand on bare reddish earth beside a stone wall. Each pot holds an upright bamboo pole. A brown rat peers out from the gap between them, climbing near the right pot. A dark cable runs along the right side. No people or a person candidates are visible.

A grey rat climbs onto the rim of a polished brass kalasha-style pot with a curved spout and loop handle, set on reddish-brown earth beside a rough grey stone. A thin pale wooden stick stands upright inside the pot. Another brass vessel is partly visible at the left edge.

Three metal pots, called kalashas, sit in a row on a weathered white-painted wooden shelf. The left vessel is polished silver-toned metal with horizontal ridges, the centre one is a bright polished brass with a wide rim, and the right one is a smaller brass pot with a flared mouth. No people are present. The wall behind is pale beige with flaking paint.

Three polished brass ritual vessels sit on a grey-painted ledge against a pale wall. On the left is a tall brass oil lamp with a flared cup and stacked tiered stem. In the centre is a brass kamandalu-style pot with a curved spout and a wide mouth. On the right is a squat brass container with a lid and knob, ringed with horizontal grooves. No people are visible; the water-stained wall and the metal objects are the only subjects.
