Overhead view of a ritual offering arranged on a red cloth covered with banana leaves. Two brass oil lamps with lit wicks stand on a bed of pale grain, flanked by halved green coconuts and sliced green fruit. A central cluster of yellow and pink flowers rests among green leaves. Around the edge, small woven baskets hold dark offerings topped with pink petals, and loose petals are scattered across the arrangement. No people are visible; this is a puja offering setup with lamps, flowers and coconut.2020-03-15March 15 20202020-03-15March 16 20202020-03-16 +2 copiesMarch 02 20182018-03-02Photo 11728756 +2 copiesJune 29 20142014-06-29 +1 copiesAugust 09 20152015-08-09August 31 20152015-08-31December 31 20062006-12-31Ground-level puja arrangement on bare earth beside colourful kolam chalk designs.
