A home altar photographed on a wooden table. Centre: a small printed image on card of a bearded man with long dark hair, a turban-like head wrap, a rudraksha mala and ornate necklaces, standing against a red-orange cloth; this printed figure is a depiction, and the appearance cues are compatible with the Swamiji (probable) label. Beside it stand a gilded brass Hindu deity figurine on a silver-and-red decorated box, a small brass bell, a black pyramid stone and scattered dried rose petals on a white dish. Green-leaved potted plants frame the altar. In the foreground a grey tray holds two water glasses, brass cups, a bowl of dark berries and a piece of chocolate; on the right a teal-handled brass bell and a brass cup with spoon sit on a printed paper. No physical people are visible.
