Each pot has a brass rim and a coconut with a reddish-pink husk topped with green mango leaves, and the netting is dotted with red kumkum marks. The arrangement looks like ritual preparation for a homa or yagna, with the pots set out in rows across the foreground. No people are visible in the frame, though a partial figure in white clothing appears at the top edge.2006-07-16Close-up photo of rows of brass-rimmed kalasha pots, each topped with a green mango-leaf garland and a coconut with red kumkum marks, wrapped in white netted fabric with gold sparkle.
