Overhead view of a ritual offering table laid with a white cloth and orange-bordered marigold garlands. Silver and steel bowls hold offerings: pink and white flowers, yellow flower petals, cashews, almonds, dates, raisins, sweets, and white and yellow prasadam. Silver pots, a small silver lamp and incense sticks stand among yellow marigold blossoms. A folded saffron-orange cloth with a striped border lies beside containers of turmeric and red kumkum powder. At the right edge, an ornate gold-carved seat or throne and a partly visible figure in orange robes appear. The scene suggests an offering or puja arrangement; no people are fully visible.

Overhead photo of a ritual offering laid on a white cloth spread over a floor covered with striped blue, red and yellow mats. Rows of bowls hold sweets, fruits, nuts and savouries, including red and orange sweets, round ladoos, apples, tomatoes, bananas and a sliced fruit platter. A folded orange cloth with a gold border lies at left beside brass lamps, small oil pots and metal containers. A basket of white and pink flowers and a plate of flower garlands sit at top, with rows of small covered cups along the upper edge. A person in white clothes is partly visible at the top right edge. No a person candidate is visible.

A photograph of a puja offering table draped with a patterned red and cream rug. In the foreground stands a silver kalasha with a coconut wrapped in a leaf and white flowers, flanked by silver bowls of nuts, sweets and fruit. Silver bowls hold yellow flower garlands, and a silver ewer and spouted vessel sit on the table. Red apples and yellow apples are piled in a silver dish at left. Behind the table are a gilded altar base, a silver lamp and incense sticks, and draped orange and white cloth worn by seated attendants at the edges. No face of a central figure is clearly visible, so no identifiable a person is shown.

A photograph of a ritual offering arranged on a white cloth on the floor. Green unripe bananas and a brown coconut with a banana sit on silver trays, alongside bowls of almonds, cashews, a sweet and a small pile of jaggery packets. Silver kalasha-style vessels, a jug, a spouted pot, cups and a small oil lamp burning in a glass holder surround the offerings. At the upper left, a bare foot rests on a tray decorated with white flower petals, and an orange cloth covers the ground. No people are clearly visible apart from partial feet and orange-clad legs.
