A photograph of a home altar draped in yellow cloth with embroidered gold trim. Centre, a framed colour portrait shows a smiling man with long dark hair, an orange robe, a gold beaded necklace and a red bindi, raising one hand in greeting before a banyan-root backdrop. In front of him sits a folded maroon cloth cushion with a gold clasp, flanked by a glass lamp, flower sprays and a small oil lamp with white jasmine flowers. To the left, a black-and-white framed photo wrapped in red and white garlands. To the right, a large framed painting of Shiva, Parvati, Ganesha and a child deity against a blue mountain sky, with a red and white garland. Smaller brass and stone elephant figurines, a lotus and framed devotional prints fill the altar.
