A home altar shrine photographed indoors. Centrally, a framed colour photograph of a smiling man with long dark hair in an orange saffron robe, raising one hand in blessing, seated before a tree with exposed roots. He wears a gold-toned necklace and is adorned with a red and yellow garland. Beside him, a framed black-and-white photograph of an older bearded man is garlanded with pink and white flowers. To the right, a large framed painting shows Shiva with a trident, a cobra, and a seated Nandi bull. Smaller printed images and figurines of deities and saints stand on silver trays decorated with yellow and blue flowers, and a small oil lamp burns in front. The altar holds no physical people; the figures are depictions in frames, prints and statues.
