A home shrine (puja altar) on a glass-topped table with no living people visible. A framed photograph in a gold frame shows a smiling man with long dark hair, orange robes and a beaded necklace, raising one hand before a banyan root backdrop; the photo is a depiction, and the page identifies it as Swamiji but appearance cues alone are not conclusive. Beside it a framed picture shows Shiva with trident, Nandi bull and Ganesha. A folded maroon cloth with a gold clasp sits in front, flanked by embroidered cushions. Smaller framed images show a seated figure in red robes. Offerings include white flowers, yellow flowers, blue flowers, a brass lamp with a white candle, a small bowl of grains, and brass Ganesha and Lakshmi-style figurines. A brass kalasha-like tall lamp stands at right.
