A home shrine photographed at close range. A large framed portrait at the top shows a smiling man with long dark hair, a red bindi, white rudraksha-style beaded mala and an orange-saffron shawl, raising one hand, in front of tree roots. Below, two small silver-edged plinths hold printed cards of a figure seated on a golden throne wearing a red-orange turban and orange garments, with a flower-decorated brass lamp with a lit wick, a brass shivalinga-style stand, a brass deity figure, flowers, a glass of liquid and a bowl of offering. A folded rust-red cloth with a jewelled brooch rests on the right beside a painting of a white bull and a figure in yellow garments. No physical people are present; all figures are depicted in portraits, prints or statues.
