A puja altar on a yellow cloth draped over a table. A framed photograph of a long-haired man with a red bindi stands at centre, showing only a portrait printed on paper. Behind it a large standing figure in an orange-red robe with gold beaded necklaces and a white flower garland holds a golden trident; this figure is a statue or printed image, not a physical person. Around the portrait lie an open book on a wooden stand, a Bhagavad Gita volume garlanded with white and red flowers, a brass kalasha with red kumkum, a brass lamp with a tealight and white plumeria flowers, red lotus-shaped offerings, a bell, matchboxes, carved elephant and gold ingot figurines, and a small bowl of sweets. No people are physically present.
