A dimly lit room with green walls and blue fairy lights hangs over an altar laden with offerings for a puja. In the centre, a framed portrait of a smiling man in a red turban and a garland of white flowers stands behind a small figure draped in a cream shawl with grey trim, set on a black leopard-print cloth. Above, a framed photo shows a man with a red turban and a second man beside him. A pink, sequinned deity murti with orange marigold garlands stands at the left, and a small mirror or gold-framed picture sits among brass items. On the cream cloth-covered table, bowls hold bananas, oranges, apples, fried snacks, beans, green leaves, sweets and a brass plate with black sandals decorated with a marigold, offered as annadan-style food. Several people are partially visible at the right edge, with hands folded in greeting. Four people appear to be present.
