A photograph of a home visit in a plain room with cream walls and a wall switch panel. A man in orange robes with long swept-back hair, a red bindi and a pink flower garland sits in a chair while a young girl in a red dress places her hand on his head and a small boy in a checked shirt bows with his head near his lap. In front of him a wooden tray holds apples, rudraksha malas, vibhuti-like items and small containers. On the left an older man in white with glasses and a gold bracelet looks on, and behind him a man in white with a yellow shawl stands with hands clasped. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure in orange with long hair and a flower garland, based on the distinctive hair, orange clothing and garland.
