A photograph of a brass kalasha pot, a ritual water vessel, wrapped in white thread netting and crowned with a dried coconut and mango leaves. White jasmine garlands, yellow marigolds and red roses decorate its neck and base. It sits on a brass plate filled with white rice grains, on a white cloth. Partially visible at the top edge, a hand and white and gold fabric suggest a ritual setting, but no people are clearly visible.
