A photograph of a small room with a white-walled shrine. A large framed photograph of a seated figure in orange robes with a beaded necklace and long dark hair sits atop a white-draped table, garlanded with red and white flower strands and a red flower garland. In front of it stand two brass oil lamps (ritual lamps) wrapped with white flower strands, a row of fruits including mangoes, oranges and yellow lemons, bananas on the right, a pile of pink and red flower petals spelling letters, and leaf plates with offerings.
