A small puja arrangement set on a dark teal cloth with white bead trim on a pale tiled floor. Two brass oil lamps with lit wicks flank a framed portrait at the back. The portrait shows a smiling young man in a white turban with a red tilak, a white garment and a rudraksha mala; it is a printed picture, not a physical person. In front, a brass plate holds white and red flower petals, and a rudraksha mala lies on an orange and yellow cloth. A brass bell, a brass cup with a spoon, a white conch shell, an incense stick in a holder and a small brass container complete the setup. No people are visible.
