A home altar draped in yellow cloth holds a framed photograph of a smiling man with long dark hair, a red bindi, a white flower garland and an orange saffron garment, raising one hand in greeting before a banyan-root backdrop; this portrait is a depiction on a screen-free print, labelled as Swamiji (probable) by appearance cues of long hair, saffron robe and ceremonial garland. Beside it stands a silver-framed black-and-white photograph of a seated figure in ornate robes and beads, edged with a red and yellow flower garland. In front, a folded rust-brown cloth bundle sits on a yellow altar, flanked by silver vases, a glass lamp holder, a small purple-and-green carved animal figure, white flowers and a brass oil lamp with a lit wick. A painted deity murti appears at left and a blue-toned deity image at right.

A large framed colour photograph shows a smiling man with long dark hair, a red bindi, an orange robe and a cream and gold beaded garland, one hand raised in blessing, seated before a banyan tree's aerial roots; the page identifies this as Swamiji, and the depicted figure has long swept-back hair, orange clothing and ornate garlands, so this is a probable depiction. A smaller black-and-white framed portrait in an ornate silver frame, wearing a crown and garland, is labelled with printed text. In front stands a folded rust-coloured cloth bundle with a gold brooch, a lit oil lamp on a brass plate strewn with yellow flowers, two glass candle holders, a white flower-decorated vase, a carved green and purple stone figure, and red and white garlands.
