A framed black-and-white photograph of a seated man in a white turban and white robes, with a red tilak mark on his forehead, is the central subject. The framed portrait is garlanded with a thick band of yellow marigolds and white jasmine. In front of it sits a platter of offerings: a pineapple, apples, a green apple, oranges, bananas and a custard apple. Pink flowers and orange-gold drapes frame the scene. The photographed man is a printed portrait, not a physical person in the scene, so no living people are visible.
