A young man in an orange kurta stands at right, holding a metal tray of food with several small bowls of rice and side dishes, facing a life-size cardboard cutout of a smiling bearded figure in a rust-brown turban with a jewelled ornament and a green and pink flower garland. The cutout is draped in a red and gold brocade shawl and sits on a red and gold cloth. Two framed devotional prints hang on the cream wall: a goddess seated on a lotus at left and a deity print at right.
