Three kalasha pots are arranged side by side, each capped with a coconut, draped in cloth and wrapped in garlands of yellow marigolds, red roses and white jasmine. The central coconut bears a small face-like painted or carved design and a gold-and-red decorative ornament. Their wrapped saris are golden-purple and pink. Two flanking pots have green leaves, and the background shows blurred garlands and seated figures in white. No people are clearly in focus.2015-07-13July 13 20152015-07-13July 13 20152015-07-13 +1 copiesTwo gilded deity murti are seated side by side on a raised altar before a magenta cloth backdrop with gold arch carvings.
