Photograph of a home shrine set up for daily puja. A framed portrait on the left shows a smiling man in orange robes and a beaded necklace, raising one hand, labelled as a printed portrait, with a red bindi and a white-beaded mala. Behind it a large framed painting depicts Lord Shiva with a trident, crescent moon, blue skin and matted hair. Both framed images wear garlands of marigolds and yellow flowers. In front, on a leopard-print cloth, sit small statues of seated saints in orange turbans, a brass bowl, a brass kalasha, a plate of white rice and a bowl of curry offered as food, and brass deity murti decorated with yellow and white flowers. Small printed cards show a temple gopuram and a shrine.
