Around it are brass items: a hand bell, a small brass pot, an incense stick in a holder, a brass lamp with a flame, a shallow brass plate of marigold petals, white jasmine, frangipani and rose petals, a conch shell, a small brass cup of water, a plate of tulsi-like leaves, a mound of rudraksha beads, an orange cloth with a yellow marigold and a beaded necklace, and a red hibiscus with white and yellow flowers on a brass tray. No physical people are visible.2012-10-16Overhead photo of a Varalakshmi Puja altar arranged on a red-brown woven mat over a white marble floor.
