Close-up of a ritual table with a brass kalasha wrapped in a garland of yellow marigolds and pink rose petals, topped with mango leaves and a red kumkum mark. Beside it a brass vase holds gerbera daisies in orange and pink with white flowers and sprigs of greenery. Both sit on brass plates on a white cloth. In the blurred background, a few people in orange and white clothes move near a pink draped structure and a stone platform.

Close-up photo of a table draped in white cloth holding two brass vessels. On the left, a brass vase with a flared base holds orange and pink gerbera daisies, a purple sprig and white blooms with green fern-like foliage. On the right, a brass kalasha-style pot wrapped in a mesh-like netting is garlanded with yellow marigold and magenta flower strands with green leaves. Behind the table, a man in a light blue shirt with a visitor badge stands with his arms folded, and a white and red striped low wall, potted plants and a bundled green cloth sit in the background. a person is not visibly present.

Photograph of a ritual display on a white-draped table: several silver kalasha pots, each topped with a yellow-orange coconut and green mango leaves, are decorated with yellow and white marigold garlands and red flowers. A ring of purple gomphrena-style flowers encircles the arrangement, and rice grains with scattered petals cover the table. In the background, seated devotees in colourful saris and white clothes watch, and a person in white stands at right near a red-draped table.

A polished brass kalasha pot stands on a round brass tray filled with white grains, decorated with a mango-leaf bundle topped by a yellow tassel and white and orange flowers. Marigold and other flower garlands in white, yellow, magenta and purple lie on the table beside it, with orange and white flowers scattered on the tray. Behind are a whitewashed wall with red stripes and green foliage. No people are visible, and the image shows a ritual kalasha arrangement rather than an identifiable event.
