A home shrine photograph centred on a framed deity murti of a goddess with a crown, red garland, and ornate gold jewellery, set against a blue and red backdrop. Red and orange marigold garlands hang from the frame. Beside it on the right is a framed image of a standing deity under a golden arch, with a peacock figure and a yellow sash. On the left a black-and-white image shows a seated figure with mala beads, and a small framed portrait of a figure in saffron with a turban and beaded necklaces sits at the lower left. The altar holds bowls of offerings including rice or grain, white flowers, a lit oil lamp, and a shell bowl of jasmine and yellow blossoms. No people are physically present.

To the right, a gold-framed print shows a standing deity in a temple arch with peacock feathers, and a bowl of yellow and blue flowers sits in front of it. Offerings on the altar include a small plate of yellow prasadam, glass bowls of water with jasmine flowers, a tealight in a brass holder and a white cup of powder.2022-03-30 +1 copiesA home shrine photographed close up with red and orange flower garlands draped over framed devotional pictures. At center stands a framed image of a goddess with a crown, rich jewellery and a red-and-gold dress, her head and shoulders framed by a cobra hood. To the left, a black-and-white picture shows a seated figure with bare arms and a rudraksha mala, the image cropped so only the hand and a small coloured portrait in an orange robe are visible at the lower edge; that small portrait is a depiction whose identity is not established by appearance. Right of center is a gilt-framed picture of a blue-skinned deity standing in a temple gateway. In front, offerings include a small oil lamp with a lit wick, a brass bowl of yellow sweet, glass cups of liquid garnished with white jasmine flowers, and a copper bowl of yellow flowers and green leaves. No people are present.2022-04-08 +1 copiesPhoto 82890052022-04-09 +1 copiesKAILASA SAN FERNANDO, TRINIDAD & TOBAGO on 3/22/20222022-03-22 +1 copiesPhoto 82897062022-03-24 +1 copiesHome shrine photograph with no people present.
