Photograph of a home shrine during daily puja. In the foreground, a brass lamp holds a lit tealight in a scalloped bowl on a brass plate, surrounded by orange ixora, white jasmine and blue pea flowers. To the right, a brass trident-shaped staff with a shiva-linga style emblem stands beside a small brass deity murti draped with rudraksha malas and decorated with yellow and white flowers. In the background, a framed portrait shows a smiling bearded man in saffron robes, a red turban, gold necklace and bracelets seated on an ornate golden throne; a small golden temple-shaped object sits before it. A person in an orange-red garment is visible at the right edge. a person's appearance is consistent with the candidate, so the portrait is labelled as a depiction.
