A photograph inside a room with lime-green walls, a hanging chandelier and a wall clock. In the foreground a woman with long dark hair wears a multicoloured garland of pink, red and yellow flowers and an orange garment; she is seated facing away, beside a tray of fruit. Next to her, a man in a white shirt and white dhoti leans forward to bite a yellow fruit held in a devotee's hand. Around them stand several men in white shirts and dhotis and a man in orange clothing with a tall orange-draped figure at the left edge. A woman in a pink sari and gold bangles stands at the left, and others in saris watch from the background. The scene suggests a devotional offering of fruit in a domestic hall.
