Photograph of a home or ashram altar for the Thai Poosam daily puja. A large framed image of a seated deity with a red and white flower garland dominates the top left, with a red-gold garland on a framed image at top right. Central items include a printed picture of a multi-headed deity murti with a kalasha-like arch, small gold-framed prints of deities, a glass-cased image of a seated saffron-robed figure on a red pedestal, rudraksha malas coiled on the left, bamboo-like offerings, marigold-yellow flowers and red lotus decorations, a brass oil lamp with a lit wick, and a plate of food. Several printed cards of a saffron-clad figure with turban and necklaces are arranged on the altar.
