A home shrine corner with no people present. A brown and black woven shawl drapes a small table holding two printed photographs of a black-faced deity murti adorned with jewelled necklaces and crowns, one surrounded by rose petals. A vase of red roses, pink carnations and white lilies stands beside it against a turquoise curtain. In the foreground an oil lamp with a lit wick burns on a dark pedestal over a light wood floor, consistent with Thiru Vilakku lamp worship.
