A seated woman in an orange sannyasi-style robe and gold-bordered shawl receives honour in a living room. Two garlands of red, yellow and purple flowers hang around her neck. An older man in white dhoti and shirt stands before her, his hand raised toward her head, while a second man in a striped shirt and glasses watches nearby. She sits on a white-draped chair with an orange cloth and a metal plate at her feet. A wooden table holds a brass tray, fruit and small brass figurines, and a window with greenery lies behind. The scene reads as a home visit with blessing or greeting rites. A printed copyright line is visible across the lower right of the photo.

A figure in orange robes and a golden-brown shawl sits on a white-draped sofa with a purple flower garland around the neck, head lowered. A man in a white-and-beige striped shirt and khaki trousers stands behind and bends forward, one hand on the seated figure's shoulder, while holding a tray near a brass plate on the floor. Nearby on a wooden table sit a bowl of red offerings and a plate of apples, and a brass plate lies on the orange rug at the seated figure's feet. Another man in a white shirt and dhoti stands at the right edge. Windows show green palms outside and a wall air conditioner is mounted above. The seated figure is an in-person candidate on appearance alone with orange robes and a shawl, but the cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so this is marked unsure.2010-02-17April 01 20122012-04-01August 11 20092009-08-11
