A photograph of a home visit in a marble-floored interior with arched doorway and tall windows. A seated figure in an orange robe and a white flower garland touches the forehead of an older man in white shirt and white dhoti who bows with hands folded. Behind them stands a woman in a beige and maroon sari, and a younger person in white with a yellow shawl holds a red tray of apples. Several men in white kurtas and a woman in a green sari holding a small child watch, and a cameraman films the moment. The orange-robed figure's identity is not established by appearance, so this is a devotee receiving blessing from an orange-robed person.
