A man in an orange kurta stands beside a large printed poster of a standing deity figure holding a trident, the poster showing a bare-chested figure with a rudraksha-style cord and red dhoti. On the table in front are offerings: a plate of fried banana slices, bowls of pink and white drinks, a plate of fresh tomatoes, green chillies, a long eggplant and a cucumber, small bowls of sweets, and an oil lamp. Blue wall behind. This appears to be a home offering arrangement for a Shiva puja and naivedyam.
