Close-up photograph of two ceremonial kalasha pots suspended from a palanquin or throne frame by woven green leaf-and-straw slings. Each pot is topped with a yellow turmeric-coated coconut with a red mark, surrounded by green mango leaves and pink flowers. Draped across the pots are gold and red jewelled ornaments, pearl strings, and a purple silk cloth with gold trim. Garlands of red and yellow roses frame both sides, and a polished silver backdrop with repoussé patterns sits behind. No people are visible.
