A home altar on a yellow cloth with a lit brass oil lamp in front. A large framed colour photograph shows a smiling man with long dark hair, a red tilak on the forehead, orange robes and a gold-beaded necklace, raising one hand against a banyan root background; the depiction is a portrait, not a physical person. Beside it sits a black-and-white framed photo of an older man in a turban with a garland, labelled with Sanskrit-style text. A red and yellow garland drapes the frames. In front, a folded rust-red cloth bundle with a gold brooch rests on the altar, flanked by glass candle holders, a purple crystal carving of an animal, a small white vase and flowers.
