Indoor shrine table draped in magenta paisley cloth for Guru Purnima offerings. Centre is a large printed photograph of a smiling man in an orange-red turban with a red shawl and a red-and-yellow flower garland, mounted on a silver backdrop; the figure appears to be a person, identified by the turban, saffron-toned clothing and garland cues, though the page does not confirm his presence. In front, a wooden seat on a green cushion holds a flower-garlanded tray. Flanking are yellow and pink roses, small vases, two temple-style framed images of a shrine, and a small framed portrait of a woman with dark hair. Below sit trays of covered brown kraft-cup desserts, Bio juice cartons and fresh fruit including oranges, a mango, apples, kiwi, bananas and a melon, with a leopard-print cloth underneath. No people are physically present.
