Photograph of several devotees seated cross-legged on striped woven mats making rudraksha mala jewellery. Four visible people in white clothing: a curly-haired person in white top, a woman in a white shirt with a long rudraksha mala and bead bracelets, a woman in white with long dark hair threading beads, and a brown-haired woman in white with a wristwatch. Work trays hold rudraksha beads, pliers, small plastic containers, silver findings and gold-coloured pendants. A purple bag and water bottle sit nearby, with a red cloth under the left person's hands.

Close overhead photo of two people threading rudraksha beads onto thin wire on a light tiled floor. The person at left wears white dhoti-style cloth, a black top and a long purple-and-black beaded mala with a round pendant, and points at a finished strand of dark and red beads. The person at right wears a dark t-shirt and a gold bangle, carefully threading beads. Small white plastic cups hold loose rudraksha beads on the floor between them.

Three women sit cross-legged on a red-and-white striped mat during a group activity. The woman on the left wears a cream sari with a green border and a dark beaded necklace. The woman in the centre wears a pink embroidered kurta over black trousers, a gold pendant necklace and several gold bangles. The woman on the right wears white clothing, glasses and a beaded necklace, and gold bangles. They are handling small white folded papers in their hands. Behind them, other seated devotees in orange and white clothes sit near brass plates, a small bowl of food and a yellow-garlanded figure.

Photograph of a seated group of devotees in a hall during a ritual, sitting on red floor mats. Most wear white, some with red or orange shawls and rudraksha malas. In the foreground a woman in a white outfit with a red vest holds a small brass bowl and a lamp-like object on a tray; brass oil lamps and plates of offerings sit on a red cloth before them. A woman at right in a white and gold-striped sari holds a small brass cup and wears beads. Several others, including a woman in a red shawl at left, sit with hands folded in prayer.

Seated on a patterned cloth on a bare floor, a woman with long curly dark hair wears a white top and white trousers with a rudraksha mala. She reaches across a spread of brass ritual pieces, including arms, feet and small figurine parts, while a man in a white shirt beside her handles the items. Behind her a person in white with a red-beaded necklace holds a length of red cloth. A man in orange sits at the left edge, and red and orange cloths lie around. Paper sheets and small scissors are scattered among the items.
