A dim, weathered room with peeling pale walls and an exposed brick patch. On the left stands a life-sized figure of a bearded man with long dark hair, in a rust-red robe and multiple rudraksha malas, hands pressed together in anjali. Before a wooden stand draped with white and red flower garlands sits a small brass puja tray holding a lamp, a bell, a plate with a red flower and other brass ritual objects. A round brass vessel lies on the lower left, and a hanging oil lamp is suspended from the ceiling. The figure appears to be a statue, not a living person.
