Silver plates hold red and pink flowers, apples and offerings on a gold tray. Hanging brass bells and oil lamps are above, and a small white altar with fruit is at right.

A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-like armrests, wearing an orange turban, orange and saffron robes, a white and multicoloured flower garland, and a rudraksha mala.
