A home altar photographed up close, arranged with flowers and garlands. A framed portrait in a gold frame shows a smiling man in orange robes with raised right hand, draped with a marigold and red-flower garland, set before a tree-root backdrop; the portrait is printed, not a physical person. Beside it a large painting of Shiva shows a blue-grey deity with trident, serpent and rudraksha beads. In front, a small seated figurine in orange with a red turban and gold necklace sits behind a Sri Chakra plaque. Brass figurines, a silver puja bell, a small kalasha-like brass lamp stand, rudraksha malas, flowers and a leopard-print cloth fill the altar. No physical people are present.
