A home altar is a dedicated space within a residence where individuals can engage in spiritual practices, reflection, or meditation. It often includes items such as candles, incense, and images of deities or spiritual figures, allowing for personal expression and connection to one's beliefs. These altars can vary widely in design and purpose, reflecting the unique traditions and values of the individual or family. Some may incorporate elements from various cultures, such as Buddhism, Christianity, or Hinduism, while others may focus on nature or personal symbols that hold significance to the practitioner.
