A gold-framed ornate background stands behind them, with a red cloth on the altar below. No people are visible.

Three 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.
