In front, a green cushion holds a wooden sandal-like item garlanded with yellow flowers. Yellow roses and purple blooms flank the central portrait in glass vases. Small framed deity images of a temple form stand on both sides, and a photo of a woman with dark hair sits at right. The pink paisley-patterned tablecloth lies over a leopard-print cloth. On the floor, trays of covered paper cups and fruit (mango, apple, kiwi, banana, lemon, cucumber, melon and ginger) form the annadaan offering, with Bio juice cartons placed behind them. No people are visible.

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.
