A temple-style worship setup in a room with red velvet drapes and colourful tasselled hangings on both sides. A seated man in a brown-orange kurta and white dhoti, and a woman in a pink blouse with a blue sari, kneel on the floor before an altar at left; the man holds his hands together in prayer. A large framed photograph of a bearded man with a pink-orange turban, rudraksha and white beaded garlands, and a red-and-orange shawl, sits on a red-and-yellow draped throne, with a golden deity murti standing above. Before the throne are a brass kalasha-style vessel, a flower-decorated pot, brass puja vessels and a tray of rose petals. At right, a multi-tiered stand holds many small white bowls of fruit, vegetables, sweets and snacks as offering food. The scene reads as puja and naivedya offering.

A photograph of a ceremonial shrine arrangement with a seated figure in the centre, dressed in a red turban, purple and gold shawl and a heavy gold and beaded necklace, one hand raised in blessing. The figure appears to be a depiction rather than a live person, set on a golden-draped throne with a tall staff behind it. Brass oil lamps flank the throne, and a round maroon-covered table in front holds ornate gold kalasha pots, silver offering plates, small cups, flowers and jewellery. Red velvet curtains with colourful tassels frame the scene, and a standing statue in orange and gold stands above. The arrangement suggests a puja display at a KAILASA centre in Houston, USA.
