A small home altar on a white windowsill, photographed as a photo rather than a graphic. Center: a carved wooden deity murti with a red-painted carved panel behind it, both heavily draped in red, pink and white carnations, purple and yellow dried flowers and scattered petals. A rudraksha mala with a dark braided cord hangs from the top. Above, a hanging brass bell and a copper yantra plate. Two brass bells hang from a silver metal frame on either side. A green leafy houseplant and a potted plant sit to the right, and a window with blurred reflections is behind. No people are visible.
