A home shrine altar crowded with offerings. At the centre-left stands a framed portrait of a smiling man in orange robes and a beaded necklace, with a red-and-yellow flower garland draped across the frame; the portrait is labelled in print and does not identify a physical person in the scene. Beside it a large framed painting shows Lord Shiva seated, blue-grey skinned, with a crescent moon and trident, rudraksha beads and a snake. The altar holds a small trident, a drum, a Sri Chakra plaque, a brass figurine, white frangipani flowers, pink hibiscus, blue flowers, bowls of cherries and a lit oil lamp on a leopard-print cloth. No physical people are present.
