A close photograph of a small yellow turmeric Ganesha figure, modelled with a trunk, tusks and round ears with dark red kumkum dots, placed on a silver tray. The murti is surrounded by red rose petals, white jasmine flowers, green leaves and blades of grass, with two round sweets or offerings at the lower edge. The background is softly blurred warm light. No people are visible.

Close-up of a yellow turmeric or haldi Ganesha figure seated on a silver base, decorated with a small orange-and-red flower crown and red kumkum dots. A heap of marigolds and red flowers sits in a silver plate below, with halved coconuts and an orange at the front edge. Behind, a fire burns in a brick-lined homa pit, with brass oil lamps and a teal-painted area beyond. The setting suggests a ritual puja or homa offering. No people are visible.

A red apple sits at the right edge and yellow bananas appear at the upper left, with a teal silk cloth in the background. This is an offering arrangement of a turmeric lingam for worship, with no people visible.
