Indoor photograph of a home visit in a small room with pale blue walls and wooden cabinetry. A seated figure in orange robes with a red flower garland and long dark hair sits on an orange-draped chair, hands pressed together in greeting; the appearance of this figure is consistent with the probable Swamiji cues of long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and garlands. A man in a white kurta with a rudraksha-style necklace holds a plate of flower petals. A woman in a blue sari with gold bangles and a kneeling woman in pink and red sari are performing pranam at the floor, where flower petals are scattered. A man in white bends forward, a young attendant holds an orange tray of offerings, and a monk in orange stands at right. A framed picture and a calendar hang on the wall, and a bottle of water sits on an orange table.
