A home shrine set up on a leopard-print tablecloth with no people present. Center back is a large gold-framed photograph of a smiling man in orange robes seated before a banyan tree with his right hand raised, with a rudraksha-style necklace; this is a portrait, not a physical person. To its left is a framed image of a goddess in red and gold with a red and white flower garland, and at right a painted Shiva with trident and bull. A framed black-and-white photo with red flower garland sits at right, beside a folded rust-orange cloth with a jeweled clasp.
