A photo of a shop interior dressed for an opening ceremony. On the left wall a framed portrait of a smiling man in a white turban and ornate clothing hangs with a garland of white flowers and a red garland below it; the page identifies this as a portrait, not a physical person. Two men stand at a counter: one in a white shirt and grey trousers holds a flower-decorated item and offers a puja, while a man in a teal striped shirt points toward the display. A brass lamp with flower garlands and a bowl of apples and fruit sit on the counter, and folded fabrics line the shelves. Festoons of flowers decorate the ceiling.
