A photograph of a home or temple shrine table cluttered with devotional objects. The dominant subject is a large black-and-gold painted statue of a multi-headed, many-armed deity murti with a crown of gold and red, blue and white flowers, its arms raised holding implements, and small painted faces clustered at its midsection. Beside it stands a framed devotional picture of a goddess in red and gold saree with a crown and jewelled necklaces, holding a lotus-like object. Around the base are silver trays with white jasmine flowers, a small framed icon of a deity, a carved wooden elephant, brass figurines, a small brass lamp and plastic-wrapped items. Shelves behind hold more religious goods. No people are visible.
