A photograph of a wooden tray set up as a puja offering on a dark wooden table. At the centre sits a small figurine of a seated man in orange and red robes with a red turban and a long white beard, placed on a pale cloth. Around him are heaps of yellow flower petals, a brass bell, brass lamps with lit flames, a brass cup, a small bowl, plates of sliced cucumber, a piece of brown sweet or fruit, and a lit incense stick rising from the back. No living people are visible.

A hand wearing a beaded rudraksha-style mala and a yellow sleeve reaches into an ornate silver tray holding small brass cups, turmeric and kumkum powder in red and yellow, and a small pile of white ash. Below, two brass plates hold yellow and red powders and a dark block, with a brass kumkum bowl, a small brass vessel and a steel spoon nearby. Oil lamps stand at the top edge. No faces are visible, so no one can be identified.2021-12-27A photograph of a puja setup on an orange cloth over a grey wooden tray. A person in orange clothing with bangles reaches in from the left, one hand holding pink flower petals above the offerings. Brass plates and bowls hold pink flowers, green leaves, a brass kalasha-style vessel, a brass bell, a small oil lamp burning, a conch-shaped vessel and a brass lamp. A brass shiva-linga style vessel and a small peacock-feather figure of a deity murti stand on the right. The scene suggests a puja or abhishekam preparation.2017-07-30 +2 copiesPhoto 82885952022-06-07 +1 copiesSeptember 26 20112011-09-26February 01 20122012-02-01January 22 20172017-01-22Overhead photo of a ritual arrangement on a saffron-orange cloth laid over a worn floor. Several brass plates and bowls are set out in a row: a large engraved plate with a small lotus-like floral painting, a central plate with a floral motif, and a plate holding a folded orange cloth. A small brass kalasha-style pot with a rounded body stands at the top, a brass lota or small vessel sits beside it, and a small white conch shell and a dark seed or nut lie near the upper edge. No people are visible, so this shows puja items and offerings rather than a gathering.2012-05-21KAILASA SAN JOSE, USA on 7/25/20222022-07-25 +5 copiesKAILASA SAN JOSE, USA on 2/23/20222022-02-23 +1 copies
