Photograph of a ritual display on a white-draped table: several silver kalasha pots, each topped with a yellow-orange coconut and green mango leaves, are decorated with yellow and white marigold garlands and red flowers. A ring of purple gomphrena-style flowers encircles the arrangement, and rice grains with scattered petals cover the table. In the background, seated devotees in colourful saris and white clothes watch, and a person in white stands at right near a red-draped table.
