Photograph inside a home. A man seated on a white cloth wears a sleeveless saffron-orange garment and a long white jasmine garland studded with yellow fruit, with a red and white floral garland across his chest. His long dark hair is swept back, and he is turned to his left, toward a group of women in white saris with gold borders standing by a wooden cabinet holding small figurines and a golden deity shrine. In front of him a red wooden tray holds apples and other fruit and a small dish on a white-draped table. A wall clock and a cartoon sticker are on the wall. Visible cues for a Swamiji (probable) candidate are the swept-back long hair, saffron clothing and ceremonial garlands, shown as a seated devotee receiving honour.
