Two decorated ritual pots, or kalasha-style vessels, sit side by side on a table as a puja offering. Each is wrapped in yellow marigold garlands with red and pink striped sticks rising from the tops, and topped with mango leaves, grass and orange coconut-like tops marked with red dots. The left vessel wears a white silk cloth and pearl and gold jewellery, while the right wears a maroon and gold silk cloth with a gold necklace. Silver oil lamps, a silver dish of mixed fruit including green grapes, bananas and mangoes, and silver bowls surround them. Devotees are faintly visible in the dim background, and a lit oil lamp burns at the left edge. This appears to be an abhishekam or puja arrangement.
