A large festival tent shows a decorated deity murti of Sri Anandaveṅkateshwara standing on a peacock-motif altar, flanked by garlands of pink, white, green and yellow flowers. A man in an orange-saffron shawl and gold-bordered dhoti stands at the front, bending over the altar and handling offerings and a small brass vessel, with a second man in white and orange sash beside him. A printed banner at the base reads Sri Ananda Venkat... with Sreedevi and Boo..., with a portrait of a smiling man in a red turban and the Satsang lettering partly visible at the right edge. The setting suggests a puja or abhishekam during the temple consecration.
