A photograph of a domestic room with orange floral curtains and speckled tiled floor. On the right, a man with long dark swept-back hair, wearing a saffron-orange robe and a white flower garland with red blossoms, sits on a low seat with his hand extended to touch a bundle of decorated offerings. A woman in a white sari with a pink border stands and holds the offerings toward him. A man in white kneels with his head bowed on the floor. Behind them, a man in an orange kurta stands near the doorway and another in white with a yellow shawl stands with hands folded. The scene appears to be a home blessing with a padapuja. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears saffron robes, a flower garland and long swept-back hair.
