Close view of a whole green-and-white gourd on a wooden table, its skin scored with long shallow cuts, lying on a red and green cloth with fringed edges. Beside it sit a silver elephant-trunk ritual implement with a patterned square base and silver bowls and a small silver dish. Behind, a bundle of dry sticks and a yellow cloth stand near red and magenta draped altar items, a brass lamp stand, and a decorated kalasha-like vessel with green leaves and white flower garlands. No people are visible; the scene looks like a prepared puja or homa setup.
