A home altar photographed on a wooden table against a beige wall. In the upper left, a cut-out printed figure of a man in an orange-and-red turban, saffron-toned clothing, rudraksha mala and flower garlands stands holding a trident; this is a printed picture, not a physical person. In front of it sits a small gold-toned deity murti on a silver tray, surrounded by a white ceramic bowl heaped with dried rose petals and flowers in yellow, red, orange and white. Brass bells, a brass spoon and cup, a teal handbell with a brass base, and a blue candle with a gold lotus design sit beside it, with a printed sheet of Sanskrit verses behind the candle.
