A photograph of a seated devotional reception in a room decorated with orange and marigold garlands. A man in a white shirt kneels on the floor offering fruit to a long-haired person seated on a white-draped bench. That seated figure wears a saffron-orange robe and a white and red flower garland and smiles while accepting the offering. Beside them, another person in an orange robe holds a plate of fruit. A small boy in a checked shirt stands at the left, and a woman in an orange and green sari stands nearby. Other attendants in white clothing move behind, and a backdrop shows a painted scene of a tree and deity imagery draped with flowers.
