A home shrine dressed for the daily Paduka Puja. Central framed photograph shows a smiling man in an orange saffron robe with a beaded mala, raising one hand, set against a tree trunk backdrop; a garland of red, orange and white flowers hangs on the frame. To the right, a large framed deity painting of Shiva with a trident, crescent moon and white-grey skin, also garlanded. On the foreground silver tray, a pair of black sandals (padukas) is decorated with blue, yellow and orange flowers and white jasmine, flanked by glasses of amber liquid, a bowl of offering and a small silver-rimmed pot. Smaller figurines of a seated sannyasi in orange and a deity murti, a brass bell and a Sri Chakra plaque sit nearby, with a red and orange lotus arrangement at right. No people are physically present.
