Ceremonial scene in a temple hall with blue-and-pink painted columns and a golden throne-like seat at right. A man with grey hair and white forehead markings, wearing an orange shawl over white dhoti, holds a yellow cloth tray of fruit. Beside him a younger man in an orange turban and red-orange silk shawl, with a bundled straw-and-cloth ritual staff wrapped in blue and orange bands and a mala, receives the offering. At right, another man in orange robes holds a bowl of apples and pineapple. A brass oil lamp stands at lower left. Three people are visible.

A photograph of a seated figure in a bright orange-and-yellow turban, pink and magenta cloth, and a white jasmine garland with red flowers, receiving red fruit from a woven basket held by a woman in a blue, gold and white striped sari. A man in white dhoti with a gold border and a rudraksha mala stands centre, speaking, with his hands folded. A woman in a green sari bends forward on the left, and several other people in white, cream and orange stand behind. The seated figure is bare-chested with gold armbands. Wall banners in orange and cream sit behind the group.

A photograph of a formal ceremony where a man in a cream striped kurta and a woman in an orange and maroon sari hand a silver tray to a seated figure. The seated man wears a bright orange and pink turban, a garland of white jasmine, a pink and gold dhoti, and bare arms with wrist bands; he sits on a red and gold cushion with flowers at his feet. Behind them a large orange and yellow painted backdrop and a smiling woman in glasses sits in the background, while a young man in a light green kurta stands at the left edge. The seated figure's appearance does not clearly establish who he is, so he is described by role only.

A photograph inside a red-draped hall with gold-leaf decoration and an ornate golden pillar. A seated figure on a gold-covered seat wears a rust-coloured turban, rust-orange robes, and a yellow-white flower garland, and extends a hand to receive an offering of red fruit. Beside him, a man with a shaved head and yellow forehead markings wears a rudraksha mala and orange cloth, and another man stands behind holding a gold staff. A white-clad elderly man in a saffron-orange shawl stands at the centre holding a red fruit, while a woman in a maroon headscarf presents a bundle of fruit wrapped in a blue-trimmed bag. A tray of fruit and offerings sits in the foreground. Several other people in white and saffron stand in the background, and a lamp hangs from the ceiling.

A ceremonial offering scene in a hall. On the right, a man wearing an orange and yellow-gold shawl, a striped multicolour cloth draped over one shoulder, a pink-and-orange turban, a white flower garland and magenta dhoti stands bare-chested with a gold armlet, receiving a silver tray of bananas and flowers. Facing him, a middle-aged priest in a white dhoti and white shawl, with white body markings on his arms and chest, holds the tray; an attendant in white dhoti and a golden staff stands at left. Behind them a shaved-headed man in saffron robes and rudraksha beads watches. A large orange-robed backdrop image fills the background, with a potted plant at lower right.

A ritual scene in a temple hall with a painted blue and pink backdrop and gold-decorated pillars. A man in a white dhoti and orange-gold shawl, with white and grey vertical tilaka marks on his chest and forehead, holds a yellow cloth tray with fruit toward a young man in a red-orange turban and red-gold shawl who holds a bundled staff wrapped in green and orange cloth. A third man stands at left in a blue shawl, and a fourth at right holds a bowl of red apples and pineapple beside a gold throne with a red cushion. A brass oil lamp burns at lower left, and a golden deity murti stands in the background. The scene appears to be a puja offering.
