A ritual puja arrangement laid on an orange-red cloth. A large brass plate in the centre holds a small brass deity murti with pink and white flowers and a red-tipped offering. Around it are a brass oil lamp with a lit flame, a brass kalasha-style conch shell, rudraksha beads in a brass dish, a small brass deity figure, a saffron cloth, a bowl of red chillies and flowers, pearl and crystal beads on a string, and incense sticks in a pink flower holder. A printed portrait of a man in orange robes sits at the top left, and a close-up printed photo of eyes with a red tilak is above it. At the right edge, a plastic-cased framed photo shows a man with long dark hair beside a label reading PARAM.
