A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits on a white-covered chair in a bare-walled room, smiling and wearing a multi-coloured bead garland with a white flower strand. Long, swept-back hair and the ceremonial garland give him a distinctive appearance; he is described as a person, seated for darshan in a home visit. A woman in a red and orange silk sari with gold border stands before him holding a small object in her hands, while a second woman in a white and gold sari stands at left. Bare feet rest on a small red and gold cloth mat. Trays of oranges, lemons, dragon fruit and dark grapes sit on the floor in front of him, and a silver-framed photograph garlanded with white flowers rests on the wooden table at right, beside a television and a stand-mounted microphone.
