A ritual puja tray arranged on a gold-embossed cloth over a silver tray, with no people present. At the centre sits a silver figure of Nataraja, the dancing Shiva, on a brass plate. Around it are brass oil lamps and bells, a small brass kalasha-style vessel, yellow marigold flowers, a white conch shell, a pink and white frangipani-type flower, a peacock feather fan, and an incense stick rising behind the figure. A small black stone and a red-and-orange kumkum or vibhuti-marked item sit among the offerings. The arrangement suggests a home puja set-up.2014-02-03Photo 11689758January 29 20142014-01-29 +1 copiesFebruary 19 20142014-02-19July 26 20112011-07-26Close photo of a puja arrangement on a woven red-and-gold mat. A brass Nataraja figure dancing within a flame arch stands at right beside a small white-and-pink Ganesha figure. A brass oil lamp with a lit flame and an incense stick burning in a brass holder sit at left. In the foreground a gold-coloured plate holds a small brass or metal vessel surrounded by yellow and purple flower petals and leaves. A dark hand reaches in from the left edge toward the lamp. No people's faces are visible and the scene shows only ritual objects.2017-02-01Photo 11736571A puja arrangement on a grey stone table.

No physical people are visible apart from partial orange-clad arms at the edge.2017-07-20November 06 20122012-11-06January 25 20132013-01-25
