A home puja altar set against a beige wall, with an orange cloth draped over the table and a red satin runner beneath the offerings. A life-size cutout standing behind the altar shows a smiling man in a red turban, red robe, rudraksha mala and white flower garland, raising one hand and holding a trident; this is a printed depiction, not a person present. Before it sits a gold yantra plate, a white marble Ganesha seated on a lotus, a small gold meru-style shrine with a deity figure, brass bells and a bowl, a brass tray of bananas and rudraksha malas, and a tray of red powder. A black deity murti in a red polka-dot cloth stands at right beside a window with white blinds. A handwritten paper sign on the wall reads KAILASA SAN DIEGO.
