Rituals in Bhurti
The first sequence shows a large Satya Narayan Puja (performed to the Narayan form of Vishnu), which was undertaken by my landlord, the second the First Feeding of Rice to a child by his father and other relatives. The third sequence is a series taken at Dasain, where a Pandit gives a tika to each member of his family and also to others. Finally a more minor ritual (possibly also a Satya Narayan) in another courtyard.
