A photograph of a shrine table set up for puja with no physical people present. Centre is a large printed portrait of a bearded man in a rust-red turban with a tilak, smiling, wearing a red-orange robe and layered gold and rudraksha necklaces; he is shown seated with a raised hand. The portrait is draped with marigold and yellow garlands. In front stands a small brass-coloured deity murti dressed in a red-and-gold garment with garlands, on a rudraksha-bead base. Flanking it are a gold throne-like chair with garlands, a gold kalasha-style vessel, a framed small photo, brass oil lamps, a platter of pink and yellow flowers, a small black pot, and a gold bust-like figure. A banyan-tree backdrop and a red-and-gold cloth complete the setting.
