A close photograph of a ritual offering arranged on a white-draped table outdoors. Large heaps of yellow marigold-type flowers, red celosia-style blooms and white flowers are bundled with green leaves and tied with a dry straw band. Silver bowls and a plate sit beside them, a peach-coloured fruit is at the left edge, and a lit oil lamp is visible at the top. A person in an orange garment stands at the right edge, partly cropped. No face of any person is clearly visible, so no identifiable a person appearance is shown.2011-01-16September 09 20162016-09-09April 14 20182018-04-14 +3 copiesDecember 05 20112011-12-05October 18 20152015-10-18December 22 20112011-12-22December 02 20162016-12-02August 01 20142014-08-01April 14 20182018-04-14A photograph of a ritual offering table laid with a white cloth on sandy ground. In the foreground stands a polished silver pot with embossed floral patterns, topped with a conical mound of yellow turmeric paste decorated with yellow flowers and green leaves, and surrounded by a silver tray of yellow flowers. Beside it, a silver plate holds garlands of white jasmine, yellow marigold and red flowers. Behind them are coconuts, bananas, oranges, betel leaves, small brass cups and bowls, and a folded white cloth with gold borders. No people are clearly visible; the setting appears to be a temple-style puja arrangement.2011-01-16December 02 20162016-12-02Close-up photograph of a ceremonial kalasha or sacred pot draped in a white cloth with a green and gold border, heavily garlanded with red and yellow flowers, green leaves, and jewelled ornaments with blue stones. A bare arm wearing silver bangles reaches in from the upper right, holding a thread or sacred cord above the pot. Behind, a fire pit with burning flames, silver ritual vessels and a brass oil lamp with a lit wick stand on a colourful striped cloth. No people's faces are visible; this is an ritual homa setting with offerings.2018-04-11 +1 copies
