Indoor photo of a seated figure in orange robes with a white flower garland and long dark hair, placing a hand on the head of a man in a white shirt and dark trousers who bows low and holds a red fruit in his hands. Two young people in white and a man in an orange shawl stand watching in a room with a black leather sofa, red patterned rug and curtains. The seated figure has distinctive long swept-back hair, orange clothing and a white garland, and the scene reads as a blessing given at a home visit. The seated figure's identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
