Photograph of a home or temple altar set up for naivedyam. Central brass murti of a deity holding a trident-like staff, garlanded with white jasmine flowers and yellow and blue blossoms, stands on a brass base before a round brass backplate. Plate of rice, yellow curry and flatbread is offered on a leopard-print cloth. A brass lamp with a lit tealight sits in front, decorated with white flowers. A blue lotus and red flowers lie to the right beside a book and rudraksha mala. Behind the altar, a large printed portrait shows a smiling figure with long dark hair, bare-chested, wearing rudraksha malas and a gold-beaded waist garland with rust-red dhoti, raising one hand in blessing and holding a tall drum staff. No physical people are clearly visible.
