A home shrine photographed as a photo of an altar with no physical people present. A large cutout figure of a smiling man in a red-orange turban and saffron robe, with a tilak on the forehead, raises one hand in blessing and holds a golden trident, draped with pearl and rudraksha garlands. Before it stands a small framed figure of a similar robed man with a golden crown-like headdress, a golden deity print in an embroidered frame, and a small framed deity image in gold. In front, a pair of wooden padukas sits on a dark tray atop a gold-brocade cushion, with a brass oil lamp burning, brass bells, a conch shell, and a small brass kalasha-style cup on a red and gold cloth.
