A photograph of a doorway crowded with men at a house visit. Several men in saffron and orange robes stand in the doorway, one wearing a long orange garland, with a bare-chested man in a saffron cloth and rudraksha mala at the centre-right, his head shaved. Men in white shirts and dhotis press around them, and a man in a plaid shirt stands at left and another in an orange scarf at right. Wooden doors frame the entrance, and a decorated red and maroon canopy hangs above. The swami-like figure is not visibly distinctive enough to confirm identity, so the robed men are described by role only.
