A photograph of a home shrine table draped in yellow cloth. Behind it stands a life-size cardboard cutout of a smiling man in a rust-red turban and saffron-red robe, with a vertical tilak on his forehead, a white and red flower garland, layered rudraksha beads, and a golden trident in one raised hand; the cutout is a depiction, not a physical person. In front, a framed photograph shows a young woman with long dark hair and a red bindi. Two books with flower garlands lean on the left. Offerings include a brass kalasha, a brass lamp holding a lit candle with white plumeria flowers, a small bowl of food, a brass bell, a small deity murti, and carved pale stone elephants and a stone sculpture with Chinese characters. Red and white artificial flowers decorate the table edges. No people are physically present.
