In the background, a gold-framed photograph shows a smiling man with long dark hair, wearing an orange garment and white flower garland, raising one hand before a banyan tree; he is printed, not physically present.

Two framed printed images on the table show a seated figure in orange robes with red headwear and a mala, surrounded by a golden arch. A rolled rust-coloured cloth with a jewelled brooch rests at right. Offerings include white frangipani flowers, yellow blossoms, a lit brass oil lamp, a small orange bowl with a sweet and a glass of liquid, and brass ritual implements on a glass tabletop.

A folded rust-red cloth with a jewelled brooch sits to the right, next to a Shiva image of a trident-bearing deity with a white bull and a Ganesha figure. In front are brass figures, white and yellow flowers, a lit oil lamp in a brass dish, a small cup of offerings and a die. Because the page ties this shrine to daily paduka puja, the robed figure in the portraits may be a person, shown as a depiction on a screen-free print.2021-04-26 +1 copiesKAILASA SAN FERNANDO, TRINIDAD & TOBAGO on 4/18/20212021-04-18 +1 copiesKAILASA SAN FERNANDO, TRINIDAD & TOBAGO on 3/9/20212021-03-09 +1 copiesKAILASA SAN FERNANDO, TRINIDAD & TOBAGO on 6/6/20212021-06-06 +1 copiesA home shrine photograph centred on a pair of silver-topped padukas (sacred sandals) placed on a glass table, decorated with yellow marigolds and white frangipani flowers.
