A photograph of a home shrine room with a red-painted niche holding small deity images, flowers and lit oil lamps. In the centre, a man in an orange saffron wrap and a long garland of white, purple and red flowers stands with his palms held over a lamp, apparently performing aarti. Behind him, a framed portrait of a long-haired figure in orange robes and a beaded necklace hangs above the altar, labelled with no readable caption. A man in a blue patterned shirt and white trousers stands at left watching, and another figure in orange stands at right near the niche. A wall clock and a tubelight are visible.
