Photograph of a ritual shrine setup. In the foreground a golden-yellow turmeric-coated deity murti of a female figure stands on a gold abhishekam tray, adorned with red flower tilak and holding an object in one hand. Behind it a large printed portrait shows a smiling bearded man in an orange-red turban and saffron-red robe, with rudraksha mala and gold necklaces, hands raised in blessing; the portrait is a depiction, not a physical person, and the printed man's identity is not established from appearance. Garlands of yellow marigolds and red flowers hang around the portrait and a small deity image. On the right a gilded ornate throne-like canopy with green velvet trim and marigold offerings rests on a brass pedestal.
