A photograph of a home shrine set up for daily paduka puja. Centre-back, a large framed photo shows a smiling man with long dark hair, orange robe and gold-bead mala, one hand raised in blessing, before a banno tree trunk. Two silver-covered low platforms stand in front of a colourful embroidered cushion, each holding a small golden pyramid-shaped object and ritual items. A printed portrait of a seated, turbaned figure in an ornate arch is set on each platform and on the cushion. In front, a brass diya holds a lit candle beside white flowers, a glass votive candle, a gold kalasha-like object, blue flower petals and a brass stand. A folded rust-coloured cloth with a jewelled brooch rests on the right. No physical people are visible.
