A home interior during a devotee visit. Seated on a white cushioned sofa is a figure in orange robes wearing a white and red garland with yellow beads, receiving offerings from a tray of red fruit and sweets held by a kneeling man in a white shirt who bows before them. A bald man in orange robes stands at left, another orange-clad person sits behind the sofa, and a woman in red sari with bangles is at the lower left. Blue and teal curtains, a hanging wicker chair, framed pictures and small deity murtis decorate the room. The orange-robed seated figure shows long dark hair and distinctive ceremonial garland cues, but the appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity.
