Several whole coconuts wrapped with pink and white cloth are laid in a row, with white jasmine-type flowers, red flowers, yellow blossoms and green mango-style leaves tucked around them. Fine white powder is scattered on the leaf at right, and a small brass or golden vessel sits at the upper edge. No people are visible.

A ritual arrangement on banana leaves with several turmeric-covered coconuts, each decorated with leaves and red kumkum dots and set in woven bamboo or cane baskets on small white bowls. At the centre stands a larger kalasha-like pot wrapped in red and green woven cane, topped with a turmeric-coated coconut and a red cloth. Small clay lamps sit around the pot on a white powder base. A person's arm is partly visible at the upper right, and fruit lies on a tray in the background.
