A photograph of a Ganesha puja at KAILASA San Jose. A large black Ganesha murti sits on a pink cloth draped over a dark seat, adorned with red and white flower garlands, gold jewellery and a pink shawl, with a green-bordered cloth below and vases of roses and carnations beside it. Two shirtless men sit at right and lower left: one with hair tied back and a rudraksha mala, the other bald with a long rudraksha mala, wearing white dhoti. A brass oil lamp and a kalasha-like offering with flowers and a bowl stand in front, with rose petals scattered on the cloth. A patterned cloth hangs on the right.
