A photograph of a domestic house visit inside a small room with pink walls. At the centre stands a figure in a saffron-orange robe with a long red flower garland, holding a white cloth bundle, with an orange cloth mat at his feet on a red patterned rug. Around him gather devotees in white dhotis and white saris with gold borders, a woman in a purple blouse and saffron-gold sari with folded hands, and several children including a girl in pink. A framed portrait and a wall calendar-style poster of a goddess seated on a lotus hang on the wall, and a small framed photo sits on a shelf. The centre figure's appearance is distinctive with saffron robes and a garland, but the identity is uncertain from appearance alone, so the figure is described by role as a robed teacher.
