The cases hold framed photos and religious objects. Beside them stands a red and orange canopy-style ornamented structure topped with a golden finial, decorated with a deity figure and floral patterns. Above the cases a black board carries English, Kannada and Tamil captions reading 'Things Used by Paramahamsa in his young age'. A left-side panel reads 'Thulabharam' with a scale icon. Girls in pink, blue, yellow and purple salwar kameez and braided hair listen attentively.
