A close photo of a flower-decorated altar offering on a leopard-print and gold-patterned cloth. Pink oleander, white plumeria and jasmine-like blossoms, a yellow flower, purple orchids and green leaves are heaped in a dish, with a pair of gold rudraksha malas with gold bead tassels laid across the front. Behind, a red-and-yellow kalasha-like pot, red flower garlands and a golden deity murti stand on the shrine. A framed photo of a saffron-robed sannyasi sits among the decorations, its caption partly visible as 'AMAHAM... ANANDA', which the printed caption attributes to a portrait; no person is physically present.
