A detail from the stairs forming the altar in front of the picture of Sathya Sai Baba. We find a wooden carved statue of Vinayakar (Ganesha), but also figures of the Madonna of Lourdes (a popular pilgrimage place for Tamils in Europe), small Buddha figures, the Koran and other statues to represent the various religions. This mirrors the claim of Sai Baba to interpret existent religious messages anew for the current time.
