Close-up of a home altar for daily Paduka puja: a framed photograph shows a bearded man in an orange turban and orange robe, adorned with a gold necklace, seated on an ornate golden throne; a printed caption ends with "MAHAMSA N". In front is a silver-covered table holding a small gold pedestal with a white flower and a pair of brass Pada-like sandals. A brass oil lamp with a lit candle sits at left beside a gold Ganesha murti surrounded by white jasmine flowers and yellow and blue blossoms. At right, a brass staff-like stand topped with a white flower rests beside a folded rust-red cloth. No people are physically present.
