A framed portrait of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes with rudraksha beads and a red-and-white garland hangs on a gold-ornate pedestal shrine, with a brass oil lamp burning before it. A standing man in a white shirt, cream dhoti and orange waist cord holds a brass lamp in front of the shrine. A woman in a blue sari with flowers in her hair stands beside a gold-carved throne-like seat. Two older people with grey hair are seen in the foreground, and a painted forest backdrop fills the right wall. The portrait is a painted or printed image, so the figure in it is a depiction, not a person present.2011-12-08November 13 20122012-11-13A dimly lit room with a wooden floor set up for devotional worship.

In front, a small orange-and-blue display holds figurines and garlands, with a steel lamp stand and brass puja vessels on an orange cloth.
