A table altar set up for a ritual offering, with a large printed photo of a smiling man in a red turban and red-and-white flower garlands standing behind it. The portrait is a printed cutout backdrop, not a physical person. Before it sits a brass-toned standing deity figure draped in a gold-bordered cloth on a magenta cloth, a small brass bell, a brass oil lamp, a brass spoon and cups, a brass plate and a steel plate of food including yellow rice, lentils and white rice. A maroon flag with gold fringe stands on a brass base at left, and a white placard reads partially as KAILASA ECUADOR. Cardboard boxes and a red incense box sit at right. The scene shows a naivedyam offering arrangement. Portrait cues for a possible Swamiji depiction are a red turban, rudraksha-style garlands and a printed image, but the appearance is only a candidate.
