A photograph inside a home room with blue swagged curtains, a white bed with a quilted cover, and a shelf with small deity figurines. A seated person in an orange-saffron robe with white and red garlands sits on the bed, with head bowed. Two men in white shirts stand bent over them, one holding a garland of yellow flowers or fruit toward the seated figure's head, while a woman in a white sari with gold jewelry and another person at the right edge look on. The seated figure's face is turned away from the camera.

June 29 20102010-06-29A seated woman in an orange sannyasi-style robe and gold-bordered shawl receives honour in a living room. Two garlands of red, yellow and purple flowers hang around her neck. An older man in white dhoti and shirt stands before her, his hand raised toward her head, while a second man in a striped shirt and glasses watches nearby. She sits on a white-draped chair with an orange cloth and a metal plate at her feet. A wooden table holds a brass tray, fruit and small brass figurines, and a window with greenery lies behind. The scene reads as a home visit with blessing or greeting rites. A printed copyright line is visible across the lower right of the photo.2010-02-17Indoor photo in a green-walled room with gold-patterned curtains. A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron cloth wrap, sits on a white-draped sofa with a gold ceremonial staff beside him and fruit at the bottom edge.

Behind them, several women stand in a row: one in a white sari with a red-and-gold border and a lanyard badge, another in a beige sari with red border and a badge, and others in white and cream saris with beaded necklaces. Their blessing-like gesture suggests a darshan exchange.2010-01-27A seated figure in a saffron-orange robe sits on a white-covered sofa in a plain room with yellow-and-green checked curtains.

On the right, a man with long dark hair wears a white garment with an orange shawl and stands beside the bed. A wooden framed window and an ornate carved wall mirror appear in the background.
