People from different community decorate their puja thali for wedding according to their own custom and traditions. Thalis made of silver and brass is considered auspicious. But people decorate thali in various ways. To give a festive look to ordinary thalis people uses banana leaf to cover their thali and draws a swastika at the middle of the thali and put the diya in the center and decorate the border of thali with colorful flowers. They also put the rice, flower petals, kumkum, various items required for puja and sandalwood paste in small clay containers along with the incense stick. To give a traditional and ethnic touch to their thali décor they uses terracotta thali with small clay containers to give an earthen touch to the decoration. Other things are kept accordingly. People also decorate their normal thali with bright golden and silver color paper with which they wrap the thali and put zari border around it to give a bright look.
Similarly you can decorate your normal kalash to give a festive look. Silver and brass kalash is considered auspicious so it is mainly used in wedding. Otherwise people also use earthen kalash but they decorate it with colorful paintings. In certain regions beautiful designs are drawn with vermilion on the earthen kalash. In Gujarati communities mirror work kalash are also used. So the decoration changes according to the regions.
