Yellow and pink flower garlands drape the altar, and brass oil lamps and a kalasha sit on a pink and orange cloth. Red flower petals lie at the lower edge. A framed photo of a banyan tree sits at top left. The portrait is printed, not a physical person, and no identity is confirmed from appearance.
