A home puja altar arranged on a burlap cloth with brass trays, fruit, and offerings. A small framed portrait of a smiling bearded man with long hair, a crown-like headdress, and a tilak is placed among the altar items, and the image shows distinctive ornate headwear and a bright smile, but the appearance is not a confident match, so this is treated as an uncertain candidate. Nearby stands a golden figure of a seated deity, and a framed painting on the wall shows a deity with a trident and a bull. A polished black shivalingam sits on a brass plate with white ash, and a lit oil lamp, a conch shell, bay-type leaves, apples, limes, and dried fruit are placed around it. A large brass plate engraved with Om lies in the foreground.
