A home shrine set up for Guru Purnima offering on a red sheer cloth. A large printed portrait on a wall-mounted canvas shows a figure in saffron-orange clothing and a saffron turban, wearing a gold necklace and rudraksha-style beaded garland, seated on a striped tiger skin over a wooden stool. Below it, a low table holds bananas, an apple, sweets, a lit candle, brass oil lamps, a small deity murti, a plate of pink flower petals, a brass jug and a small framed black-and-white portrait of a woman in white. A small framed picture of a deity and a bowl of offerings sit on the table. A printed group photo appears at the right edge. The wall behind is lime green.

A framed black-and-white portrait labelled as Swamiji's photograph rests on a brown upholstered armchair with carved wooden frame. The framed image shows a bearded seated figure with a rudraksha mala draped over the frame. In front, on the floor, a gold brocade cloth holds a brass puja thali with a lit oil lamp, a small kalasha-style red and gold container, flowers and a green cloth bundle, plus steel bowls of rice, dal and vegetables, a mango, and an orange bowl of white flowers and leaves. A tiger-print cushion beside a white-and-pink cloth displays a strand of white pearl or bead garland. Indoors with cream walls, a wall heater vent, and dark tiles. No people visible.

Behind the offerings, a framed portrait of a man wearing a red-orange turban, a garland of red and yellow flowers and a long beaded necklace is set on a cobra-hooded throne, with a golden canopy above.
