A home shrine (puja altar) with framed portraits and garlands. On the left, a framed photograph shows a smiling man in saffron-orange robes with a long gold-beaded necklace, raising one hand in blessing before a tree-root backdrop; a portrait labelled with a name is not visible, so no caption is read. Beside it, a framed image of blue-skinned Shiva with crescent moon, trident and rudraksha ornaments, both draped in red and orange flower garlands. On the tray in front sit a pair of paduka sandals decorated with white jasmine and yellow flowers, a brass lamp with a lit wick, small bowls of offerings, blue flowers, and small figurines and deity images.
