A home shrine on a leopard-print cloth displays framed images and offerings. At left, a framed photo shows a smiling man in orange robes with a white flower garland, one hand raised in blessing, seated before a large banyan tree, and the figure has distinctive long hair and a white garland, so this is a Swamiji (probable) portrait. Centre is a framed image of Lord Shiva with a trident and crescent moon, garlanded in marigolds and red flowers. To the right is a deity image in a red-and-gold setting. Before them are a brass kalasha, a small lamp, white rice and yellow dal in bowls, white plumeria flowers, blue flowers and small figurines. No people are physically present.
