June 03 20212021-06-03Overhead photo of a ritual setup on a woven straw mat edged with green trim, with a bed of dark rudraksha beads at centre. Two hands, wearing gold bangles and rings, handle brass vessels: one hand holds a brass bell-like implement and another pours or arranges items. A large brass bowl holds white and pink flowers, a brass tray holds a small deity figure with flowers and a brass lamp stand, and small brass cups and bowls surround the mat. A white conch shell, a burning oil lamp, incense sticks, a brass kalasha-style vessel of dark liquid and a basket of flowers complete the arrangement. Only partial arms and hands are visible, so no complete person is shown.2021-06-03February 28 20122012-02-28Photo 11691411 +1 copiesA home shrine altar photographed from above, with small brass deity figurines arranged on a white tray printed with pink and green flowers.
