A close view of a Hindu ritual setup on a white cloth table strewn with marigold and yellow flower petals. A brass kalasha-like pot wrapped in a white mesh net and topped with mango leaves and a coconut sits at the centre. A hand with a bare arm reaches in from the right toward a plate of pink and white flowers and a small metal bowl of red kumkum. A silver kalasha and a silver vessel with a spout sit on a purple brass-patterned cloth. Incense sticks are visible at the upper right, and a person in orange and red checked clothing is partly visible at the edge. The scene reads as a puja or abhishekam preparation.2009-09-25 +1 copiesA photograph of a ritual table arrangement with a lit brass oil lamp on a tall stand in the foreground.
