A photograph of a kitchen-style dining room set for an offering. In the centre, a long table draped in a cream cloth with fruit-print borders holds a fruit basket with pineapple, bananas, oranges and apples, two bread baskets, a steel bowl of red powder with a spoon, a bowl of green cardamom pods, and small terracotta cups. Behind the table, a framed portrait shows a smiling man with long dark hair in saffron robes and a rudraksha mala, seated in meditation, with a red curtain and two brass oil lamps. A man in a white shirt stands at left by steel pots on a counter, and another worker in white at right stirs a pot. Terracotta floor tiles and cream wall tiles complete the room.
