A photograph inside a home shrine room with a carved wooden canopy and niche. A figure with long dark hair in an orange saffron robe stands on the left wearing a long yellow-and-purple marigold garland, hands joined, facing the shrine; this figure has long swept-back hair and saffron clothing with a garland, a person candidate. A second person in an orange robe with a maroon border kneels at the altar. Framed deity pictures and garlanded deity murti images line the wall, with a portrait of a woman in orange on the left. Fruit, a brass lamp and an offering plate sit on the altar ledge, and a woman in a pale sari is partly visible at the right edge.

A figure in saffron-orange sleeveless robes wearing a long white flower garland with green leaves holds a brass oil lamp with a lit flame toward a large framed picture of a golden deity murti in an arch, with a red background, garlanded with pink and white flowers. Below, smaller framed deity images are decorated with garlands, and a framed photograph in a garland sits at the lower right. To the left, another person in orange robes stands with palms pressed together in prayer near a window. Brass dishes and a small lamp rest on the stone ledge. The shrine picture is a deity murti, so the scene is a devotional lamp offering. The figure with the lamp has long dark hair, orange clothing, a white garland and a sheer orange wrap, consistent with a person presentation, while the person praying at left is a devotee.2010-02-16A photograph of a home shrine room.
