A home shrine set against a white wall. A framed printed portrait hangs high above, garlanded with orange marigolds; the man in it has a saffron-and-gold turban, a bare upper body with gold necklaces and bangles, and sits on a tiger skin. Below, a golden arched canopy frames a small deity murti group in red and gold garments, adorned with red garlands and a trident. Two wooden padukas (sandals) rest on a red velvet cushion in front, encircled by an orange marigold garland with a red rose and jasmine necklace. Potted green plants, a brass lamp and a brass pot flank the altar, and red-and-gold bolsters and a gold-sequined cloth cover the platform. Two decorative painted fabric banners with yellow fringe hang on either side of the wall.

The central murti holds a trident-like object in front of it; a small brass bell stands at left, and white roses and rose petals are scattered on a blue embroidered cloth. Potted plants, yellow chrysanthemums, a white offering on a brass plate, and red flowers frame the altar. No people are visible.

A close photograph of a gilded deity murti, a small statue with a golden face, red-painted eyes and a jewelled forehead ornament. It wears a tall red velvet crown studded with rhinestones in diamond and band patterns, an orange-red shawl and ruffled red fabric draped over the shoulders. Multiple rudraksha mala strands hang across the chest with small gold and white floral garlands. The hands are gold, one raised in abhaya-like blessing and the other lowered, and a leopard-print band is tied at the waist. Behind it sits an ornate gold-toned frame and a small golden figure. No living people are visible.
