A white jasmine garland drapes down the pot's side, and grass stalks rise from the top. Behind it, blurred figures in orange and saffron robes sit near a gold-toned backdrop, with yellow and white marigold garlands and flower offerings in the foreground. No faces are clearly visible, so no person can be identified.2013-12-25April 27 20182018-04-27 +1 copiesSeptember 28 20172017-09-28 +2 copiesOverhead view of a ritual offering arranged on a red cloth covered with banana leaves.

Brass plates hold rose petals, yellow flowers, cooked rice and a rudraksha mala. Brass oil lamps, a kalasha-style cup, bells and lit incense sticks surround them. Only a bare forearm in an orange-clad sleeve and a hand are visible, with a rudraksha bracelet on the wrist. The setting appears to be a temple ritual with offerings arranged for puja.2017-01-06
