A home altar set on a leopard-print cloth, dominated by a framed colour photograph of a long-haired man in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala, seated before a banyan root and raising one hand in greeting; he appears to be the Swamiji candidate, with a red bindi and a garland of white and yellow flowers below his frame. Beside it is a silver-framed black-and-white photograph of a man in ceremonial headdress and beaded necklaces. Smaller images show a deity with trident, a seated figure on a throne, and a Murugan-style deity in a gold frame. Offerings include a large yellow fruit, silver-tone trays decorated with yellow and white flowers, a lit oil lamp in a brass dish, a folded saffron-orange cloth with a brooch, and a small green figurine. No people are physically present.
