Traditional Puja Thali with Offerings

A beautifully arranged traditional puja thali, prepared for a sacred Hindu ceremony. Featured prominently is a colorful rakhi, signifying the bond of protection and love between siblings. Alongside it are small golden bowls containing essential elements for rituals: red kumkum powder for tilak, white unbroken rice grains (akshat), and a pot of yellow paste, likely chandan or haldi. A small golden idol of Ganesha, the remover of obstacles, is also part of this auspicious collection, all set for prayer and blessings.
