A silver kalasha vessel with embossed deity medallions stands on a maroon cloth in a ritual setting. A yellow-dyed coconut with a tuft of fibre sits on top, surrounded by green mango leaves, yellow and red flowers. Behind it, a red and yellow garland drapes over a golden ornate seat or throne, with orange cloth and a pair of wooden sandals with flower petals nearby. A brass oil lamp stands at left. No people are visible; the scene suggests a puja setup prepared for worship.
