A home shrine photographed on a leopard-print cloth, decorated with marigold and red-rose garlands and yellow and purple flowers. A framed photograph on the left shows a smiling man in an orange robe and a beaded necklace, raising one hand in blessing before a banyan-like backdrop; the page identifies a person at this event, but the portrait is a printed photo, not a physical person, so the appearance-based candidate is only a depiction with uncertain identity. A framed image of blue-skinned Shiva with a trident and crescent in his hair is at the centre, flanked by a deity murti and a brass kalasha, a brass lamp and a bowl. Offerings include flatbread, a bowl of cooked vegetables, white jasmine garlands and small brass deity figures. No physical people are present.
