Photograph of a whole pale green gourd with a dried stem and several halved gourds with white flesh sprinkled with red powder and seeds, set on a dark green cloth beside a reddish-brown mat with a white painted mark. No people are visible, so this is a close view of offering or ritual produce.2010-12-16September 28 20172017-09-28 +2 copiesOctober 12 20132013-10-12October 12 20132013-10-12Close view of a whole green-and-white gourd on a wooden table, its skin scored with long shallow cuts, lying on a red and green cloth with fringed edges. Beside it sit a silver elephant-trunk ritual implement with a patterned square base and silver bowls and a small silver dish. Behind, a bundle of dry sticks and a yellow cloth stand near red and magenta draped altar items, a brass lamp stand, and a decorated kalasha-like vessel with green leaves and white flower garlands. No people are visible; the scene looks like a prepared puja or homa setup.2013-10-12October 12 20132013-10-12December 20 20102010-12-20September 28 20172017-09-28 +1 copiesOctober 12 20132013-10-12A close overhead photograph of a round metal bowl filled with cut watermelon wedges, showing bright red flesh with black seeds and pale green rind.
