A photograph inside a home shrine room with yellow walls and wooden cabinets, a garlanded doorway and small lamps lit on a floor mat. A person with short dark hair and a red-and-white shawl leans forward on the left, offering something from cupped hands to a smiling woman in an orange sari with a rudraksha mala. Beside her a bare-headed man in a white shirt and white dhoti wears a mala and white tilak and watches. Behind them a man in a maroon shirt holds a baby with a shaved head, and several standing people in saffron and orange clothing and a woman in a blue sari look on. Strings of marigolds and a small deity picture are visible.
