A photograph inside a home where a figure in orange robes with a white and red flower garland sits on the floor, back partly toward the camera, handing a fruit to a standing devotee. Around them, devotees in white dhotis and shirts, a woman in a turquoise sari with a red bindi and bangles, and children in white look on, several holding fruit with hands pressed together. A small red-and-white item and scattered sweets sit on a tray in the lower right. The figure in orange with the garland is a person by appearance: long dark swept hair, saffron robe and flower garland are visible, while the person's face is not shown.
