Close 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.2015-09-15Close-up photograph of a ritual offering arrangement on a tray.

Green bananas, a red apple, a split coconut with white flesh, scattered grains and green leaves surround them. No people are visible; this appears to be a kalasha-style puja display.2020-03-15 +2 copiesDecember 12 20162016-12-12August 02 20172017-08-02August 02 20172017-08-02Close-up of a puja offering arranged on a green banana leaf over a red cloth.
