Indoor puja in a temple hall with a row of black stone deity murtis on red-cushioned shelves along the back wall. A standing deity murti with a tall crown and staff stands at the right edge. At a central table draped in gold-patterned cloth, brass vessels, a pineapple, oranges, bananas and a pile of fruit are arranged. A woman in a white sari with a rudraksha mala sits at the left reading from a paper. Several women in pink, orange and blue saris sit around the offering table, some wearing face masks, and a bare-chested man sits beside them. A woman in a cream sari with gold border holds a brass aarti plate with flowers at the right foreground. A tripod-mounted camera is in the centre.

Devotees sit on the floor of a hall for a puja at a temple, with two priests in saffron-orange and white seated before a brass lamp and offerings. Several women in saris of purple, green, blue and pink sit in rows, some holding brass plates of fruit and flowers. A row of orange-robed figures and a shivalinga-style stone form stand against the back wall beneath framed photographs. An orange and gold cloth covers a decorated altar on the left with garlands, and oil lamps burn on the floor. A man in a white dhoti sits near the centre, and a standing woman in white appears at the rear.

Indoor puja in a temple room with cream walls and tiled floor. Devotees sit on white cloth on the floor in front of an altar. A shirtless man in white dhoti with a sacred thread and ash markings sits at left, and a woman in orange sari sits beside him. A woman in a blue sari and white shawl sits in the centre with hands together near a brass lamp, and others in saffron and blue saris sit nearby. A low table draped in gold and orange cloth holds brass plates, a kalasha, flower petals and lit oil lamps. Behind them a rack of many small dark deity figures with orange cloth stands against the wall, and a large dark Shiva lingam sits on a black base near the seated devotees. A standing man in a pink shirt and a woman in white sari move in the background.

A photograph of a Hindu temple hall with a carpeted floor, where seated devotees face a shrine. A priest in orange robes sits at a decorated ritual stand with flower garlands, a brass tray of offerings and a drum nearby, while another person in orange sits on an orange mat. Devotees sit in rows: a woman in a striped blue-and-yellow sari with a long braid, a woman in pink, a man in white, and a person in purple. Behind them, a row of colourful shoes is arranged along the wall, with deity murti and flower-decorated shrines in gold and red. A woman in teal walks across the hall. The scene suggests a puja or satsang.

A temple room with a row of black shivalinga-style stone lingams in front of a tan cinder-block wall, with a Nandi bull statue in the lower left foreground and an orange flag on a pole. Several standing deity statues including figures in green, red and pink garments stand on the right. A shirtless man in a white dhoti stands at a central altar table covered with a gold cloth, brass plates, fruit, limes and flowers. Nearby a man in a red shirt and a woman in a blue top are seated, and a woman in a gold-bordered white sari holds a plate on the right. Seated devotees, some wearing face masks, sit on the left side of the room on white mats, and a woman in white reads from a paper in the foreground. The scene appears to be a puja or abhishekam ritual.
