Overhead view of a maroon checkered cloth holding ritual objects: a rectangular grey stone block at top, a small brass bell with a handle beside an orange cloth, a dry brown leaf on the orange cloth, a thin copper-coloured yantra sheet with a grid of small engraved figures, and a brass box with a hinged lid. The brass box lid displays a printed portrait of a smiling man with a red turban, saffron-orange robe and a gold-toned necklace, holding his hand near his chest; this is a printed picture on an object, not a physical person. No physical people are visible apart from a sliver of white cloth at the bottom edge.
