A photograph of a home visit in an indoor room with white walls and wooden panelling. A long-haired figure with dark hair falling past the shoulders, wearing a saffron-orange garment that leaves one shoulder bare, sits on a white-covered sofa, smiling and holding an orange. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti leans forward to drape a long red flower garland over the seated figure, and several men stand behind, including one in a white shirt and dhoti and one in a patterned grey-and-white shirt. A red tray with oranges, gold bangles and red beads sits at the lower left. Probable Swamiji (long dark hair, saffron clothing) appears as the seated figure being garlanded.
