A photograph taken indoors in a plain room with pink-washed walls. A central figure in a saffron-orange robe with a large red flower garland stands on a red patterned mat, hands at chest level, with a swaddled baby cradled in white cloth held by a woman beside him. Around them, devotees in white and cream sarees with gold borders, one in a purple saree with orange border, and men in white shirts and dhotis stand close together, some with palms pressed in namaste. A young girl in a pink dress and another child stand in front. Wall posters show a goddess with lotus and a framed portrait hangs on the wall. The central figure appears to be a person, identified by the saffron robe, the flower garland and the long swept-back hair.
