Several metal plates hold conical mounds of powders: white (likely rice or ash-like powder), pale cream/beige, and bright yellow-orange turmeric powder in the foreground. Yellow marigold-type blooms, purple and magenta flowers, and red roses form a border around the plates along a white cloth-covered table. Behind is a dark green fabric with embroidered red sequin-like dots. No people are visible, and the powders appear to be prepared offerings for a puja.2018-01-01 +1 copiesSeptember 12 20122012-09-12February 11 20122012-02-11 +1 copiesA photograph of a white kolam, a traditional rangoli drawn in lime or rice powder, covering reddish-brown earth.
