Close photo of a small altar setup on a violet cloth: a clear crystal Shivling stands on a brass plate scattered with red rose petals and green leaves. A lit oil lamp flame burns in the foreground, with brass bowls and a brass incense holder with smoke behind. A framed picture of a robed figure sits at the right edge; the picture is not clearly legible, so it is described as a framed portrait. No people are visible.
