Photo of a home altar with a yellow cloth draped over the table, decorated with marigold and white flower garlands, brass oil lamps, a brass kalasha, flowers, and small bronze figures. Central statue-like figure in a red-orange turban and saffron wrap with a long rudraksha mala and a trident is a statue, not a person. Framed photographs and a large trident-holding poster are arranged behind, including a painted portrait of a seated figure in a red turban and gold-embroidered robe on a throne, and framed portraits of a smiling figure in saffron. Brass figurines of female deities with floral garlands sit at the lower corners. Some portraits and paintings show people in orange or saffron clothing; these are depictions, not physical people in the scene.

A large life-size statue of a smiling man wears a saffron-orange turban, orange robe, rudraksha mala and a white flower garland, and holds a trident; this figure is a statue, not a person, so no physical person is present. Around it stand framed photos, a large printed poster of a standing man with a trident and bare-chested saffron wrap, a framed tanjore-style painting of a seated figure in pink robes on a throne, bronze deity figurines, flower garlands, brass lamps, a kalasha-type pot, and offerings of flowers and fruit on plates. A small framed photo of a woman with long dark hair and an open book with flower garland are also on the table, and a framed Shiva image is at right. Setting suggests a devotional puja space.2022-07-07 +1 copiesPhoto 99190912022-08-06 +1 copiesKAILASA SAN FERNANDO, TRINIDAD & TOBAGO on 8/14/20222022-08-14 +1 copiesA shrine arrangement on a yellow cloth-draped altar with framed portraits and standing cutouts.
