Indoor shrine corner with a pale yellow wall and an orange draped table holding a brass bell, a brass deity murti, fruit, a brass lamp, incense sticks and a bowl of white flowers. Two men stand before it: a bare-chested man on the left with palms pressed together in namaskar, wearing a rudraksha mala and red-and-gold wrist band, and a man in an orange jacket and rust-coloured dhoti holding a white flower. A large cutout portrait on the right shows a smiling figure in a red turban and red robes, with a yellow-and-white flower garland and rudraksha mala, hands raised in greeting. The portrait is a printed cutout, not a physical person; no physical a person is clearly visible.
