from below, first picture is symbolzing the gods, there are things for pooja and kalasa.
six kalasa are kept, each one is symbolic representation of gods, in Kuruba caste community, god Beereshwara (reincarnation of shiva)is diety.(espcially for this two families), usually in a marriage, deities are represented in kalasa, and there would be male deity and female deity. in a such caste communiteis, marriage is fixed based on the similar caste deities and kinship.

second photos, here the both groom and bride, would have to sit for ritual, where the banana, coconut, rice, milk, are considered as the symbols of wealth and wellbeing, so the people would bless, the groom and bride to be wealthier and have good married life.
third photos, kalasa of female deity,
foruth- is symbols of Beereshwara
fifth- very interesting one, where the priest of deity Beereshwara who is narrating story of lord beereshwara(reincarnation story of shiva), the custome he his wearing is similar to Beereshwara.
