Close photo of a ritual altar with a pair of dark stone padukas (sacred sandals) placed on a leopard-print cloth, heaped with white jasmine blossoms, purple and blue flowers, orange marigolds, red ixora and yellow blooms. Rudraksha malas with gold bead ends hang over the padukas. In the background are small figurines in red and pink dress, a gold deity figure at right, and a blue flower garland. No people are visible.
