A shrine corner in a dark room. Centre: a seated saint statue in glossy orange robes with an orange turban and a beaded necklace, one hand raised in blessing. To its right stands a framed photograph of a man in a white turban and white clothing. Brass oil lamps stand on a green cloth-covered altar, with brass cups, a brass tray with offerings, and a bowl of rice and food. A small framed picture sits at the left edge. The statue is a depiction and the photo shows a printed portrait, so no living person is physically present.
