Behind him hangs a large framed portrait of a bearded-free smiling man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala seated in meditation beneath a banyan tree, labelled with a printed caption. Beside the framed portrait stands a golden deity murti of a standing four-armed figure holding objects in two hands, on a red and gold cushioned base. In the foreground at right, a woman in white with a braid bows over a white-draped table holding a brass vessel and offerings. Deep maroon curtains form the backdrop.
