A home altar photographed indoors with a framed photo of a smiling man with long dark hair, wearing an orange-saffron robe, a rudraksha-style bead mala and a red tilak, one hand raised in blessing, seated before a banyan tree with aerial roots; this framed printed photo is a depiction, not a physical person. Beside it hang a framed image of Lord Shiva with a trident, Nandi bull and Ganesha, and a printed picture of seated figures on a throne. The altar holds a folded rust-red cloth with a brooch, white jasmine flowers and blue butterfly-pea blossoms, a brass oil lamp, a brass Ganesha figurine, a small yellow bowl of offerings, a glass oil lamp and a small crystal figure. No physical people are visible.
