Golden metal murti figures stand on a shallow tray of water scattered with yellow marigolds and pink roses during an abhishekam. The central four-armed deity murti holds a trident-like weapon and a ritual object, with a red tilak on its forehead. To its left stands a smaller male murti with a raised hand, and to its right a female murti in a red and gold embroidered sari with a red kumkum mark. Behind them, a printed portrait of a man in orange robes, red shawl and beaded necklaces sits on a blue patterned cloth, but the page does not say Swamiji is present and the portrait is only a depiction. No people are visible in the scene.
