A home shrine photographed for a Karthigai Deepam observance. Above, a framed print shows Shiva with trident and Ganesha in the centre and a seated goddess with a child beside them, all draped in red and white flower garlands with rudraksha beads. To the right, a large print shows a goddess in a red sari with gold jewellery holding a sugarcane stalk. Central on the altar stands a brass Nataraja figure surrounded by yellow and red flowers, with a brass plate, small brass pyramids and a copper-coloured panel. Two small framed images of a deity temple and a saffron-robed seated figure rest on the cloth. Two smaller framed portraits of bearded men in red turbans and beaded necklaces sit at the sides, a yellow flower-strewn plate holds a lit clay oil lamp in the foreground, and a yellow silk cloth hangs at the right edge. No people are present.
