The smallest size of altar.
A Small Altar is a type of furniture added by the Ideology DLC at which acts as a focus for pawns to perform and take part in rituals.
Acquisition
The Small Altar can be built with 50 Stuff (Metallic/Woody/Stony, 500 for SMVs) in 5,000 ticks (1.39 mins).
Summary
The ritual focus(es) should be placed in your "Shrine" room, which itself has the "altar" or "ideogram" as a room role requirement.
Analysis
The small altar has the highest wealth, style dominance, and beauty per tile of all altar sizes. Small Altars have 10 style dominance/beauty per tile, when made of Wood.
It is also the only Altar option with a "light Terrain affordance", allowing it to be placed on any tile that can support a wooden wall, including a tile located on a wooden bridge.
These factors combined, makes it the best in class option in terms of efficiency of space, placement, "values" per tile and work/resources.
