Around them are polished silver plates holding small silver cups of saffron-yellow liquid, rose and marigold petals, white flower heaps, a white conch-shaped vessel with a red flower and green leaves, and a brass kalasha-style vessel in the centre. Pale silver plates with white flower offerings and small silver tokens surround the central offering, consistent with a puja or padapuja setting.
