A photograph of a house visit in a living room with cream walls, a glass-fronted wooden display cabinet, a wall air conditioner and a sofa. A central seated figure at the right foreground wears an orange sleeveless top and a garland of pink and green flowers, sitting cross-legged facing the group. Seated devotees in white dhotis and shirts sit on the floor around scattered flower petals and a tray of nuts and sweets. A woman in a green sari holds an infant in her lap. A man in a white shirt stands behind a camera operator in white, who is filming the gathering. A woman in orange and another in orange-red sit on the sofa. Dimensions and count: about nine people visible. The figure in the orange top shows distinctive long hair and a garland; no appearance-based a person candidate is confirmed here, so the identity remains unsure.
