Close view of a home shrine during Karthigai Deepam. A bronze deity murti with a trident-like staff is draped in yellow cloth and decorated with garlands of yellow, orange, blue and white flowers. Beside it, a smaller figure in a pink and gold cloth has a crown and beaded garland. A framed photograph behind shows a portrait of a person in orange robes, with a printed caption reading Nithuananda. In the foreground a single lit oil lamp sits on a brass plate scattered with yellow flowers. The table is covered in a leopard-print cloth, with small brass items and a dark braided cord visible. No people are present.
