Photograph of a shrine display for a puja. A large printed backdrop shows a smiling bearded figure in a maroon turban with a gold ornament, wearing layered gold necklaces, a golden pendant and a garland of white and red flowers, seated under a golden temple-arch design. In front, a gold ornate arch frames two small metal deity murtis adorned with white satin draping, gold trim, floral garlands and jewelled crowns, with a red brocade cloth and pink and white roses around the display. A brass plate holds flower petals and a bowl of tamarind-coloured rice sits at the lower right. No physical people are visible. The printed figure is a depiction; the appearance matches the presentation cues, with a maroon turban, gold necklaces and garlands, so it is probable.
