A seated woman with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron-coloured sari and multiple garlands of purple and white flowers with a teal-green bead strand, sits on a white-covered sofa while raising her palm toward a man in white. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti bends forward presenting a red fruit or offering to her, while standing devotees in white shirts, dhotis and checked shirts watch, and a woman in an orange-and-pink sari with bangles stands at right. In front is a white-covered table with a yellow bowl of sweets and a plate of food, and a red tray at left holds garlands, bangles and packets. The setting is a domestic room with a wall air-conditioner and wooden cabinets, consistent with a devotee home visit. Six people are visible.

January 11 20102010-01-11A seated figure in an orange sleeveless top and orange garment, wearing flower garlands of purple and red blossoms, sits on a white-covered sofa in a room with wooden cabinets and a wall air conditioner. A man kneeling in a light blue shirt and dark trousers holds a red fruit and a small flower object before the seated figure, performing an offering or padapuja. Behind them, several men in white shirts and dhotis and a woman in an orange sari stand watching. On a low white table in front sits a bowl of yellow paste or food. A red box with sweets and items lies at left. The seated figure's long dark hair and orange clothing match the presentation cues for a sannyasi, but the appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity, so the candidate is uncertain.2010-01-11 +1 copiesJanuary 11 20102010-01-11 +1 copiesA photograph inside a domestic room with cream walls, wooden cupboards and a white sofa.
