A seated man in a deep red-orange turban and orange-red robe sits cross-legged on a red cloth draped over a low platform before a gold-framed backdrop, wearing a multicolour flower garland with white, yellow and red blooms. Behind him on the wall hang framed black-and-white portraits and framed photographs of deities and sages. To the right on a black side table stand two painted idols: a small figure in pink and gold clothing with a garland, and a blue-skinned deity with a tall crown and garland. Before him on the floor sits a brass puja plate with a lit oil lamp and flower petals, a brass kalasha-style vessel, small brass cups, a silver tray and a folded white cloth on a decorated mat. The red cloth bears the printed words OM NAMO NARAYANA. This is a puja setting in a home or ashram room.
