A home shrine altar photographed from above on a silver-embossed tray. Two black sandal-shaped padukas are heaped with white jasmine flowers, purple and yellow blossoms, and green leaves, with rudraksha beads and a gold tassel at the bottom. Beside them sit an orange bowl and a white bowl of yellow prasad. A brass trident stands upright on the right. Behind is a painted figure of a smiling bearded man in an orange-red robe, gold necklaces and an orange turban, seated in a meditative pose before a red-bordered Sri Chakra placard; a printed picture of a seated figure before a temple is framed behind, and a red lotus rests on a green leaf. The padukas are the sacred focus of the offering, and the figure is a statue or printed image, not a physical person. No people are visible.
