Three silver kalasha pots with woven wire patterns stand on a bed of white rice on a banana leaf. Each pot holds mango leaves and a coconut topped with orange-yellow husk fibre, with yellow marigold flowers and red kumkum dots on the pots. Incense smoke rises at the left and yellow flowers and orange cloth appear in the foreground. No people are visible; this is a ritual setup for a puja.

A close photograph of ritual kalasha pots arranged on a cloth-covered table. A central embossed silver pot holds green mango leaves topped by a coconut, surrounded by similar coconut-topped kalashas wrapped at their bases in white cloth, set on a gold-and-teal brocade runner over a magenta cloth. Blurred figures in warm clothing stand in the background, with no clearly visible faces. The setting suggests a puja or abhishekam preparation.

Four silver kalasha pots with woven silver netting are arranged on a banana leaf over white rice grains. Each pot is topped with a yellow-orange coconut wrapped in fibre, set among fresh green mango leaves. A teal and gold patterned cloth forms the background, with a terracotta surface beneath the leaf. No people are visible. This appears to be a ritual arrangement of kalasha pots, possibly for a homa or puja setup.
