A home shrine photographed as a photo with no people present. A framed portrait on the left shows a smiling young man in saffron-orange robes with a beaded white necklace, one hand raised in blessing, seated before a banyan-root backdrop; this printed portrait is labelled in the scene only by context, not by visible caption. Center stage is a framed image of Shiva with a trident, crescent moon and blue skin, both framed images garlanded with marigold and red flower strings. Tables are draped with leopard-print cloth and hold brass figures of deities, a brass kalasha pot, a brass Nandi, rudraksha malas, jasmine flower garlands, a small tray of sweets and a lit oil lamp. Small figurines of seated Shiva-related saints wear orange and red turbans and a painted wall image shows a temple gopuram.
