A photograph of a ceremonial altar set up for a guru worship offering. At the centre, a large framed portrait of a bearded man with long hair, wearing a rudraksha mala and ornate beaded necklace, is garlanded with marigold and rose garlands and sits behind an armchair draped with a woven gold-and-brown cover. A purple cloth covers the table in front of it, laden with rows of small steel bowls of savoury snacks, sweets, fried noodles, and a large plate of rice-based dish on a banana leaf. Bananas, pumpkins and two brass pots of snacks surround the arrangement. Two decorated red-and-gold canopies with peacock-blue emblems flank the altar, and a marigold festoon hangs across the top. No physical people are visible.
