Behind him stand eight people in traditional and casual clothing: women in sarees and salwar-style dress, men in white shirts and checked shirts, with several standing with hands folded in greeting (namaskar). Along the right wall are a wooden shelf with small figurines and a side table holding a red box with fruit, a brass lamp and decorative items. The scene is a domestic visit with a clean, tiled floor and a large window with wooden frames behind the group. Probable Swamiji is the seated figure in orange robes with long dark hair and a garland, shown in the room as the central person being greeted.
