Three scalloped wooden shelves are stacked on metal posts, each hung with small brass bells.

No people are visible.2007-10-08Close view of a tiered wooden temple-style structure against a pale grey sky, with three scalloped wooden platforms supported on metal posts. Small brass bells hang from the edges of each tier. Two metal kalasha-like finials with dried grass or straw bundles rise at the top, and a red and blue cloth is tied to the lower tier. No people are visible; the structure appears to be a ceremonial tower or rath-like fixture used in a puja setting.2007-10-08
