A devotional shrine set up beside a window with blue sky and bare trees outside. A large framed photograph on the right shows a smiling man with long dark hair, wearing saffron-orange robes and a large beaded necklace, seated in lotus pose in front of thick tree roots while raising one hand in blessing. On the left, a life-size cutout or standee of a smiling man in a red-orange turban with a vermilion tilak, red-orange robes, a rudraksha mala and a leopard-print shawl holds a silver staff and raises a hand in blessing. In front, a pink and yellow silk fabric arrangement dressed in pink satin and jewelled necklaces sits among pink roses, carnations, purple flowers and calla lilies. A small brass Shivalinga with a cobra hood sits on a striped animal-skin cloth, and a brass oil lamp is visible at the lower right.
