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 copiesApril 14 20182018-04-14Two ceremonial kalasha pots topped with coconuts and mango leaves are heavily garlanded with yellow marigolds, red roses and white jasmine, with blue and gold beaded ornaments. They sit on a red cloth in a temple setting, with trays of offerings and flower petals nearby. Behind them, a priest in a green-bordered dhoti and a few other people are partly visible, along with decorated pillars and a camera crew at the edge. The scene suggests a puja or abhishekam preparation.2018-04-14Photograph of three brass kalasha pots dressed for worship, each wrapped in white cloth with red borders and draped with yellow and pink flower garlands and green leaves.

A gold-framed ornate background stands behind them, with a red cloth on the altar below. No people are visible.2012-10-23Close-up photo of two decorated kalasha pots for ritual worship.

A partly visible man at the left wears a pink and orange turban and gold-toned beaded necklaces. Behind the arrangement hang orange and gold draped cloths. The scene suggests a satsang homa setting with offerings prepared around the central pots; no person's identity is established.2015-07-18 +1 copiesTwo coconut-shaped ritual vessels, each with a face-like pair of eye holes, stand side by side on a low brown cloth-draped platform, wrapped in thick garlands of yellow and white marigolds and red roses. A pink-red cloth drapes behind them. Two silver oil lamps flank the pair on the floor, with patterned striped mats and blurred figures in the background, consistent with a ritual homa or puja setting.2015-07-17July 17 20152015-07-17 +1 copies
