A decorated home shrine on a pale yellow wall, framed by strings of orange, yellow and magenta marigold garlands. Left, a framed photograph shows a smiling man with long dark hair and a red forehead mark, wearing saffron-orange robes and a white flower garland, seated cross-legged with one hand raised; he matches the Swamiji (probable) cues of long hair, saffron clothing and a rudraksha-style garland, shown only as a printed photograph. Right, a framed image of a goddess seated on a throne in red and gold dress with a crown, holding objects in her hands against a blue background. Below stands a bronze-finish deity murti in a maroon and gold silk sari, draped with pink flower garlands, surrounded by lit tea-light candles and a green leaf. A small framed certificate hangs to the right.
