Photograph of a home altar displaying a pair of black padukas (sandals) decorated with yellow and orange flowers, blue butterfly-pea blossoms, white jasmine, and rudraksha-and-gold tassels, set on a silver tray. Behind them stands a painted-resin figure of a smiling bearded man in an orange-red turban, gold necklaces and orange robe, raising one hand in blessing, flanked by drums and a framed copper Sri Chakra yantra. A small bowl of rice and yellow dal sits to the right beside a brass oil lamp stand and a framed picture of a temple gopuram. A printed poster on the right shows a similar figure seated before a temple. No physical people are visible.
