A decorated home altar with a leopard-print cloth covering the table. Two dark sandals rest on the cloth, garlanded with red, white and yellow flowers and marigold-toned blooms. Golden brass murtis of Ganesha and a seated Shiva-Parvati pair are adorned with red, yellow and green flower garlands. A brass trishul stands centre, with a red and yellow dhol-like drum, a rudraksha mala and a small bowl of oil and wick nearby. Behind, a framed painting shows a saffron-turbaned man with a tiger-skin backdrop, and a standing cutout of a saffron-turbaned figure in ornate clothing with a gold chain and rudraksha beads, flanked by a red and gold garland. A printed portrait behind the altar bears partly legible text. Two sandal-clad figures are paper depictions, not physical people.
