A puja altar photographed from the front. In the centre, a dark stone or metal tray holds a heap of yellow marigolds and white jasmine-like flowers with orange star blossoms, plus two rudraksha-and-gold ornamental pieces laid across it. On the right, a gold-finished statue of a deity with a companion sits beside a garland of red, green and orange ribbon flowers, and a brass Ganesha figure is also garlanded. A trident stands upright at the back right. Behind the flowers, a framed portrait labelled Sri Chakra and a large printed picture show a smiling man in an orange-saffron turban and robe with a heavy gold necklace and rudraksha mala, raising two fingers in blessing. Red and yellow drums, a glass vase with a purple candle, and a box of matches sit at the back. The table is covered in a black-and-white leopard-print cloth over red fabric.
