Photograph of a home puja altar with no people visible. Central framed print of Lord Shiva seated in meditation, with a crescent moon and trident, draped in a red, orange and yellow marigold garland and seated on a tiger skin. To the right a framed image of a goddess with a golden crown and cobra hood, also garlanded. At the far left edge a framed portrait shows a man in orange robes with a rudraksha-style necklace, labelled with no readable caption, so his identity is not established. Surrounding the altar are brass pots, a lit oil lamp with flower decorations, small brass deity figures, a red and gold shrine, a plate of small idols with flower garlands, scattered yellow and white flowers, and a leopard-print cloth covering the table.
