Their hand holds a yellow turmeric-coated coconut above a row of three silver pots wrapped in white cloth with purple stripes. The pots are decorated with mango leaves, pink flowers and grass tied at their tops. Yellow turmeric blocks, fruit and white rice sit on a plate to the left, with a colourful striped mat behind. Only the lower body and hands of the person are visible, so no face is shown. The scene suggests kalasha puja offerings in a temple setting.2018-04-26 +1 copiesJuly 07 20092009-07-07May 28 20132013-05-28May 21 20122012-05-21 +1 copies
