Before them is a central altar draped in a white cloth with an orange striped runner, holding framed photographs garlanded with marigolds and a black peacock-feather fan above, a small deity murti, a brass lamp and a glass vessel. Offerings on steel plates include fruits, a bowl of sweets, round savoury cakes or dosas topped with white flowers, a cup, and two small oil lamps with flames.
