A woman in a red sari with gold bangles and a maang tikka stands at a home shrine, holding a lit oil lamp over a crowded altar. Framed images include a portrait labelled with a printed name, a painting of Shiva with trident and tiger-skin backdrop, and a framed photograph of a saffron-robed man beside floral garlands. Strings of multicoloured fairy lights, small brass lamps and a leopard-print cloth fill the altar, and a red-and-white checked tablecloth hangs at the front.
