A ceremonial kalasha pot wrapped in yellow marigold garlands and red roses sits on a red cloth at a puja. A coconut husk and green leaves top the pot, with a decorative silver-and-red ornament tied to it. A brass oil lamp with a lit flame stands at right, and a whole coconut and scattered petals lie in front. Behind, people in white dhotis sit cross-legged on the red floor, and a cardboard box is visible at upper right. No person is in clear focus, so no a person candidate is visible.
