Mango leaves and yellow-orange coconut-like tips rise from the pots. A red-clad figure is partly visible at the upper right edge of the frame, and a blurred plant appears in the background. No faces are visible. This appears to be a pada-puja setup with floral offerings.2011-12-12Photograph of a ritual display on a white-draped table: several silver kalasha pots, each topped with a yellow-orange coconut and green mango leaves, are decorated with yellow and white marigold garlands and red flowers. A ring of purple gomphrena-style flowers encircles the arrangement, and rice grains with scattered petals cover the table. In the background, seated devotees in colourful saris and white clothes watch, and a person in white stands at right near a red-draped table.2011-12-13Three 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.2015-07-13Two 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.2018-04-14Close-up photo of two decorated kalasha pots for ritual worship. Each brass-rimmed pot is wrapped in woven multicoloured bamboo lattice in red, green, white and yellow, topped with a tuft of straw and a coconut-shell cap. Both are garlanded with yellow marigolds and red roses, with green mango leaves tucked in. Halved coconuts sit in the foreground and fresh leaves and flowers appear at the right edge. No people are visible.2018-04-14June 23 20172017-06-23
