Two framed pictures stand against the stones, one showing a deity murti with a crown and blue background, the other a portrait of a man in orange robes with a rudraksha mala, one hand raised in blessing. Both frames are garlanded with red flowers and white jasmine. In front sits a woven basket of fruit including bananas, apples and oranges, with white flower garlands, a brass oil lamp, a small brass vessel and a lit match box. Yellow flowers and a red-garlanded tray appear at the edges. No people are visible.
