A photograph of a cluttered display of brass and copper ritual objects laid out on a striped woven cloth in a dim room. Visible items include a copper repoussé panel with circular motifs, copper horn-shaped vessels, brass oil lamps on stands, brass bells, a stack of gold-coloured wrapped sheets, cone-shaped brass finials and small lamps. No people are visible, so this is an object arrangement rather than a gathering, and no one in the scene can be identified as a person.

Close photo of a ritual setup with ornate silver vessels and small silver oil lamps arranged on a low silver-legged stand. At the centre, a bronze female figure holding a flame stands among the vessels. On the right, a hand with a rudraksha bracelet rests near a silver pot and a dark wooden block. Behind, red cloth hangs in folds. Only partial arms of one person are visible, so the ritual participant is not identifiable and no face appears. The scene suggests an abhishekam or puja preparation with oil lamps and silver ritual vessels.

A flat arrangement of brass ritual objects laid on a woven striped mat on a concrete floor. A row of ornate brass lamp stands with arched hoods, some with small figures, stands in a line. To the right is a tall multi-tiered brass lamp with many cups, and a five-branched brass candelabra. A brass hand bell rests on an orange cloth beside a brass tray holding white cloth and small items. A small brass dish lamp and a folded cloth bundle are also visible. No people are present.

Inside a large workshop with a corrugated roof and red steel trusses, two saffron-robed men stand at a display of brass and gold ritual items. The taller man on the right wears an orange turban, rudraksha mala and orange dhoti, and gestures toward the objects with one hand. Beside him an older white-bearded man in an orange shawl stands barefoot, hand raised to his chin. Behind them, workers in white shirts and dhotis move among ornate gold arches, brass lamp stands, tiered brass platforms and a golden swan-shaped throne. On a striped mat in the foreground lie small brass and wooden deity murti, lamps, bowls and conch shells.
