A home altar set up for an annadhan offering, with no people visible. A large cutout portrait of a bearded man in a tall orange-red turban, red shawl and gold necklaces sits against a blue draped backdrop and a carved wooden screen, with a tiger-skin rug visible beneath. In front stand packets of grains and lentils, plus glass bottles of juice in a green crate. A smaller standing figure of the same kind of portrait, garlanded with red flowers, stands on a brown cloth beside brass lamps, a brass pot, a bowl of bananas, apples and green chillies, and a lit oil lamp. A printed sheet with a temple and a seated bull sits on the golden cloth.
