A photograph inside a plain pink-walled room during a Tamil Nadu house visit. A seated figure on an orange-draped couch, bare-shouldered in an orange-red cloth, wears a thick garland of yellow, red and white flowers and holds up a silver trident (trishul) with a small silver kalasha-like vessel. Two young men in orange robes and rudraksha malas sit on the floor; one sits near a low table with fruit, a plate and a brass lamp, and the other, shaved-headed, is seated at right with bangles. A woman in white sits low near a small mat with offerings, and a man in white stands at the doorway. A television sits in the upper left corner. The scene reads as a puja-like ritual with a trident offering.
