A photograph of a home shrine room during a visit by a devotee household. A figure with long dark hair wearing an orange robe and a white and red flower garland sits on an orange-draped chair, smiling and holding a small orange fruit in both hands. An elderly man in a light blue shirt bends forward and touches the seated figure's feet in reverence. Beside him a man in a white shirt with a pendant stands, and a woman in a teal and gold sari and a woman in white stand at right. At lower left a monk in orange with a saffron head covering and a second bald-headed person in orange-trimmed clothing sit close by, and at lower center a woman in a yellow garment bends forward with hands raised. Behind them a wooden cabinet holds glassware, and a wall shelf is decorated with yellow marigold flowers, framed portraits and a green mango-leaf torana. Pineapple and oranges sit on a table, and a framed deity picture hangs above.
