A photograph of a home interior where a long-haired figure in a saffron-orange robe and a white flower garland with red blossoms sits on the floor, receiving a hand-clasp from a kneeling woman in a pink salwar kameez. Around them stand a group of devotees: a man in a light blue shirt and dark trousers holds a tray with fruit, a woman in a pale yellow sari stands with hands folded, and several people in all-white ritual attire, including a man with a rudraksha mala and women in white, watch or hold fruit. A small girl in white kneels at the left and a child in yellow sits at lower right. Shelves of books, figurines and framed pictures fill the background behind a window with a grille. The saffron-robed figure's face is not visible, so no identity is asserted.
