A photograph of a temple-style altar display on a draped table. Central figure is a life-size cutout portrait of a smiling man in an orange-red turban and orange robe with a red tilak, holding a trident and wearing yellow and white marigold garlands; the figure is printed, not a physical person. Beside him sits a seated female-form deity murti in a brown satin gown with a gold-bordered sash, jewelled necklace and dark hair bun. Gold-embroidered cloths, potted palms and a wooden vase frame the setup. A tall framed photo behind shows a mountain above a lake. In front, a brass tray holds red flower petals, small brass lamp-like forms and gold ribbon, and a wooden sign reads GRATITUDE. No physical people are visible.
