Overhead photo of a home altar set for puja. A framed black-and-white picture shows bare feet with a beaded mala wrapped around the fingers, resting on a patterned cloth. Garlands of red, pink and yellow flowers hang near a gilded frame. Small glass and bowls hold offerings including yellow flower petals, white and yellow blossoms, a bowl of white grains, a bowl of milk, and a glass with fruit and bay leaves. A lit oil lamp in a gold lotus-style holder burns at the right, and a colourful floral tray sits at the bottom edge.
