A photograph of a home shrine table set with offerings for a paduka puja. Central is a framed portrait of a smiling man in orange robes and a long rudraksha mala, raising one hand; he is a portrait, not a physical person. Beside it a large painting of Shiva with a crescent moon and garlands. Two black sandals (padukas) decorated with rudraksha malas, white flowers and blue blossoms sit at the front-left. Small figurines include a seated saint in red-orange with a gold necklace, a brass Nandi bull, a brass deity figure, and a trishul. Bowls of yellow flower petals and sliced fruit surround a brass plate of leaves. Gold-and-red garlands drape the frames. No physical people are visible.
