Several kalasha-style pots with woven lattice-patterned sides hold coconuts wrapped in lavender-white cloth and crowned with yellow marigold garlands and green leaves. Bananas, red flower petals and a bundle of leaves lie on the cloth. The background is softly blurred with orange and grey tones. No people are visible.2017-08-02September 26 20172017-09-26 +1 copiesSeptember 05 20172017-09-05Close view of a row of ritual offerings on a silver tray lined with green banana leaves.

No people are visible; a brass bell and draped fabric appear in the background.2012-09-04 +1 copiesA photograph of a ritual offering arranged on ornate silver trays draped with a white cloth. Two white woven baskets holding kalasha-like vessels are wrapped in blue-and-white checked cloth and decorated with white chrysanthemum and red flower garlands and mango leaves. Surrounding the tray are oranges, apples, red and yellow flower petals, and a small rangoli-style powder design in yellow and red. A partially visible person's bare torso and white dhoti appear at the top right, and a silver lamp stand and brass vessel sit at the left. No identifiable a person is clearly visible, so the appearance is uncertain.2017-05-26Close view of a ritual arrangement on a colourful striped woven mat. A large silver kalasha wrapped in white cloth and hung with gold bells sits at centre, surrounded by smaller brass-rimmed coconut offerings on leaf-lined plates with rice, red flower petals, banana leaves and bananas. A lit oil lamp stands at left, with a fruit basket behind. An orange-draped object sits beside the central pot. No people are visible, so this shows puja offerings rather than a person.2015-09-15March 16 20202020-03-16 +2 copiesPhoto 11728677 +2 copiesSeptember 05 20172017-09-05December 21 20092009-12-21September 05 20172017-09-05A temple ritual setup in the foreground: several kalasha pots made of coconuts wrapped in white woven cane, decorated with red and orange markings, set on trays with rice, banana leaves, mango leaves and scattered white flowers.
