A home altar arrangement photographed on a wooden table. A printed portrait of a man with long dark hair, crown-like turban, rudraksha malas and gold necklaces, holding a trident, stands behind the offerings; a red-orange cloth drapes the background. In front sits a small brass deity murti of a seated figure and a silver-and-gold puja platform with a black yantra, scattered pink and purple petals, and a bonsai-like plant. To the left is a framed picture of an ornately garlanded deity with a trident and sword, beside two brass bells. Cups of coffee or tea, a slice of cake, and small glasses sit on a white plate and tray. Two cups and glasses hold offerings near the altar.
