Behind a gold-and-brown tiger-striped throne chair stands a large printed photograph of a bearded figure with a maroon turban, white jasmine garlands and a long necklace, wearing red-maroon robes. Two brass pots heaped with fried snacks flank the throne. In front, a pink silk-draped altar holds flowers, and a purple cloth is covered with brass bowls of grains, pulses, turmeric, kumkum, nuts, sweets and fruit.
