A photograph of a puja setup on a silver tray: several yellow kalasha-style pots wrapped with white and purple-striped cloth, topped with mango-leaf bunches and straw-bound stems, with pink flower petals scattered around. A hand in a rust-red garment holds a brass oil lamp with a bright flame, and a steel bowl of pink petals sits at right on a stone ledge. No people are fully visible beyond the hand and red-clad arm, and no clear figure is shown, so the a person field is none.

A photograph of a temple ritual centred on a silver tray holding several yellow-wrapped coconuts with green leaves and fresh pink flowers, arranged around white and pink cloth-wrapped bases. A person's hand, wearing a gold bangle and holding a small silver lamp (kalasha-style aarti vessel) with a bright flame, performs a deeparadhana-style offering. The person wears a rust-brown sari with a gold border and a beaded necklace, and only the hand, arm, bare feet and lower body are visible. Silver bowls, a covered silver container and a banana leaf lie nearby on a striped cloth.2018-04-26 +1 copiesJune 04 20182018-06-04April 11 20182018-04-11 +1 copiesApril 04 20182018-04-04 +1 copiesApril 26 20182018-04-26 +1 copiesApril 04 20182018-04-04 +1 copiesA close view of a ritual arrangement of several conical kalasha-style pots made of yellow-green plant material wrapped in white cloth with maroon stripes and tied with dried straw. Each cone rests in a small brass or copper vessel with pink flower petals, mango or betel-type green leaves tucked among them, and a scatter of grain on a silver tray. Behind, a colourful woven mat and a blurred red fabric suggest a temple courtyard setting. No people are visible in the frame.2018-05-29 +2 copiesApril 26 20182018-04-26 +1 copiesApril 26 20182018-04-26 +1 copiesClose view of a temple ritual with a person in a rust-red garment and a heavy white beaded necklace. Their hand holds a yellow turmeric-coated coconut above a row of three silver pots wrapped in white cloth with purple stripes. The pots are decorated with mango leaves, pink flowers and grass tied at their tops. Yellow turmeric blocks, fruit and white rice sit on a plate to the left, with a colourful striped mat behind. Only the lower body and hands of the person are visible, so no face is shown. The scene suggests kalasha puja offerings in a temple setting.2018-04-26 +1 copiesMay 29 20182018-05-29Close view of a ritual setup on a magenta cloth: three or four coconuts wrapped in lavender and blue-striped cloth, hung by strings from above and set into silver-colored vessels with woven netting, decorated with white flowers and green leaves, with scattered rice grains on the cloth. A flame from an oil lamp or fire pit is visible at the left edge. No people are visible. This appears to be an offering arrangement for a puja, with no visible person identified as a person.2018-01-13
