Photograph of a decorated altar set for a Mahalakshmi puja. A brass deity murti or idol is draped in white jasmine garlands and a golden necklace, with a yellow flower crown, arranged on an orange brocade cloth scattered with pink and yellow petals and small lit oil lamps. A brass kalasha-style bowl of petals sits in front. Behind is a framed picture of goddesses in a blue and gold chart, flanked by gold-toned decorations and green leaves. A tall brass oil lamp with a lit wick stands at right beside a yellow wall and maroon cloth. No people are visible.
