Close-up photograph of a puja setup on a striped green, red and yellow cloth. A silver oil lamp with a lit flame sits centrally beside a silver bowl of pink rose petals, a silver bowl of yellow turmeric paste, a small dish of white powder, and incense sticks in a silver holder. Pink and yellow flowers and green leaves frame the foreground, with a yellow-brick wall behind. A person in a rust-coloured garment is partly visible at the top left, seated at the edge of the frame. The setting suggests a Hindu ritual offering.2018-05-29 +1 copiesDecember 19 20162016-12-19October 02 20142014-10-02December 19 20162016-12-19August 08 20092009-08-08August 31 20172017-08-31August 08 20092009-08-08June 07 20132013-06-07 +1 copiesA close view of a ritual puja arrangement on a polished brass tray.
