A photograph of a home puja altar on a woven mat over a wooden floor, with a lit oil lamp in the upper right. At the centre top stands a small glass shivalingam on a brass plate. Behind it a printed picture of a smiling man in an orange-saffron robe, orange turban, gold garlands and necklaces, raising one hand in blessing, is propped up. Brass offerings surround the altar: a brass bell with a handle, a conch shell, a small incense holder, three small brass bowls, a brass cup with a spoon, a small glass bottle, a brass container with a lid, a plate of dates, a bowl of almonds and white cashews, and a plate with a red cloth and yellow chrysanthemum flowers. No people are visible.
