A photograph of a Diwali altar set up in a room with a tiled floor. A large framed portrait of a bald, orange-robed man with a rudraksha mala sits at the centre, garlanded with white and pink flowers, with a peacock-feather fan behind it. Below, a bed of pink marigold-type garlands drapes the altar, with a brass oil lamp (deepam) tiered with lit wicks and marigold petals scattered on the floor. Fruit, bananas and brass vessels are arranged to the left. A second framed portrait on the left shows a seated man in orange robes with a mala against a dark background, with a garland on its frame. Yellow and red flower strings hang along the walls and a white curtain. The portraits are depictions, not physical people present in the scene.
