Home puja altar photographed at night. A printed photo pinned to a plain cream wall shows a young man with a tied orange turban, bare chest, orange cloth draped over his lap and a rudraksha mala, a presentation that matches the Swamiji candidate cues but the image is a printed depiction, not a person in the room. On a bamboo mat sits a brass lamp with a lit flame, bowls of red and yellow flowers, a silver plate of rudraksha beads, a white conch shell, two ripe mangoes tied with red flowers, a small photo card and a jar. No physical people are visible.
