Picture shows an altar covered in red silk table cloth. There are pictures of Hindu deities Sita Ram Lakshman Hanuman, Krishna, and Saraswati. There are also small deities of Ganesh and Durga, a lit lamp, and a copper cup of water. Before the altar, there are two plates filled with food offerings. On either side of the altar, there are yellow and green flowers in vases. Overlaid on the center of the picture is the text “1,000 Years of Hindu Colonial Trauma (video presentation series)”
