A home puja altar photographed from above. Two framed images stand at the back: on the left, a black-and-white photograph of bare feet with a dark mala and rosary beads; on the right, a gold-framed picture of a temple gopuram. Between them hangs a garland of yellow flowers and deep red satin flowers. Offerings sit on a patterned cloth: a glass bowl of yellow-tinted rice, a white bowl of plain rice topped with a white flower, small glasses of water and a clear liquid with jasmine-like flowers, a glass of milk, and a lit oil lamp in a brass tray. Brass Ganesha figures with red and yellow garlands rest on a floral tray in the foreground, along with a box of sweets or prasadam.
