A decorated home altar arranged for daily puja, photographed from above on a glass-topped table. Large framed deity pictures at the back are garlanded with red and yellow flower malas; the one at left shows a deity with blue skin and a crescent ornament, and the one at centre shows a goddess in red and gold with raised hands. Smaller printed cards and framed prints of multi-headed deity forms, a standing figure holding a staff, and a gilt-framed image of a deity in an arched frame sit among brass and metal murtis, a lit oil lamp, red and orange artificial lotuses, white jasmine flowers, a bowl of sweets, and a plate of brass figures decorated with flowers. No physical people are visible; the figures shown are printed images and statues.
