A small shrine corner with a yellow-washed wall and a green wooden door on the left. A large printed photograph of a smiling man with a tall ornate crown, tilak, layered beaded necklaces and bangles sits cross-legged, palms raised in greeting, with a pink-roped clay pot hanging in front of him; the figure is a printed portrait, not a physical person.
