A home altar display photographed closely: two brass hand bells hang from a silver metal frame above a copper yantra plate inscribed with Sanskrit-style script and geometric lines. Below, a small brass murti of a seated deity wears a black crocheted cord with a rudraksha bead on top, flanked by two red painted stone shrine-plaques of Ganesha. Lavender plumbago flowers, pink carnations, yellow marigolds and pale lilies are scattered across the altar, with a small brass object and rice-like grains before the central figure. No people are visible.
