Two standing devotional depictions appear behind them: a large statue on the left in a red-and-gold turban with a garland of yellow flowers and gold necklaces, and a printed photo in the centre of a figure with long hair, a trident and a rudraksha-style mala. A tiger-print cloth and a red pillow are visible. On the table are pink flowers, a small framed murti garlanded with white and red flowers, bowls of food, green limes and a dish of white flowers. The woman on the left wears glasses and an orange shawl, the girl in the centre in a white top has palms pressed together, and the woman on the right in a leopard shawl with palms joined also wears a forehead tilak.
