A home shrine (puja altar) photographed head-on. Garlands of red and orange flowers hang across framed prints. Centre: a framed print of Lord Shiva seated, blue-grey skin, crescent moon and trident, draped in beads. Left: a framed photograph labelled as a portrait of a smiling man in orange robes and a gold necklace, raising one hand in blessing, and wearing a red forehead mark; the figure is an appearance-based candidate for a person, shown as a depiction in a photograph. Right: a painted deity with a golden crown and multi-hooded cobra backdrop, and a gold-framed figure with a trident. Offerings include white flowers, rice in bowls, a lit oil lamp, a kalasha, small brass figurines, a Sri Chakra plate, and yellow flowers. Only printed images are present; no physical people are visible.
