A home shrine photographed as a photo, with no physical people present. A framed portrait in a gold frame shows a smiling man in orange robes and a rudraksha-style bead mala, one hand raised in blessing, against a backdrop of large tree roots; the portrait is a printed depiction, so it is not a person in the scene. Beside it stands a painted image of Shiva with a trident, a cobra and a white bull. Offerings on the altar include a lit oil lamp in a brass holder, white jasmine flowers, blue clitoria blossoms, a glass candle holder, a small bowl of nuts, and a rust-red turban with a brooch placed on the altar. Smaller printed images of the same robed figure stand on the altar, and a carved golden figure sits in front.
