Close view of a puja arrangement on a large ornate silver-and-gold tray filled with pink and yellow frangipani and red flower petals. Several small silver bowls hold orange kumkum or turmeric, and silver spoons and a conch-shaped vessel rest among the flowers. Two hands, one with a tattoo, reach in to arrange the offerings, and a sleeve in saffron-orange fabric is visible at the left. No faces are shown. The scene suggests a flower and offering preparation for worship.2013-06-09April 19 20142014-04-19Close view of a padapuja ritual: a bare foot in the foreground rests on a heap of red, orange and yellow flowers and white petals on a gold ornate tray.

Several hands pour liquid from a silver vessel into a silver bowl over a tray of silver puja bowls filled with red and yellow flowers, rose petals and green leaves. A thin stream of clear liquid falls from one cup into a bowl below, possibly for abhishekam. One wrist wears a rudraksha mala and gold bangles; another hand shows a tattoo and bangles. The silver vessels are engraved with floral patterns. Only hands and arms are visible, so no faces appear.2013-04-04July 09 20132013-07-09June 29 20132013-06-29
