Photograph of a home or temple altar set with padukas, the sandal-shaped footwear of a guru, placed on a silver-patterned tray. The paduka pair is black with red and brown straps and is heavily decorated with yellow daffodil-like flowers, blue flowers and white jasmine blossoms. Behind them stand a brass deity murti and a small black stone lingam-shaped object, with a brass trident stand and orange flowers. Offerings include two bowls of sweet dessert topped with a slice of golden cake, and a brass plate garlanded with white jasmine. A printed poster shows a smiling man in an orange-red turban, rudraksha mala and gold necklace making a blessing gesture, beside a Sri Chakra plaque and a printed image of a temple shrine. Drums and a lotus decoration appear at the top.
