A worship altar set up against a white wall. A large framed portrait in a red and gold-bordered cloth is draped with a garland of white jasmine, green leaves and red roses; it shows a seated man in orange robes against a tree-trunk backdrop, with a red forehead mark and a mala. Beside it stands a second red-toned print of a figure seated on a gilded throne with lion-shaped armrests, wearing orange robes and a golden halo. In front of the portrait is a white-covered table holding a flower-filled plate on an orange cloth. On the floor mat sit puja items: a brass bell, oil lamps, a brass pot, a plate of pink flowers with two rings, a bowl of white substance, kumkum and a stainless-steel container.
